  2. In a skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned. Once the turkey is cooked through, stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, smoked paprika, onion powder, soy sauce, sriracha, chicken broth, honey, black pepper, and sea salt. Let it simmer for about 3 minutes. For added thickness, mix in the corn starch and stir until well combined.
  3. To assemble your rice bowls, start with a base of cooked rice. On top, add a generous scoop of the ground turkey mixture, then layer on your choice of veggies like shredded carrots, sliced cucumbers, shelled edamame, pickled onions, sliced avocado, and shredded cabbage. Finally, drizzle the chilled Bang Bang Sauce over the top. Finish by garnishing with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy!
