Easy Weeknight Turkey Bibimbap

This recipe is a simplified easy weeknight version of a traditional Korean Bibimbap dish. “Bibimbap” in Korean means mixed rice. This dish is typically served with a variety of vegetables (radish, carrots, spinach or kale and mushrooms) and a main protein (in addition to the fried egg on top) and ends with a bibimbap Gochujang sauce on top. Using ground turkey is easy to make and so delicious! Mix everything together and enjoy!

Note for the cook: Because the bibimbap sauce is so flavorful, there is no need to season the turkey or the vegetables but if you would like to add more flavor, feel free to season the ground turkey with a little sesame oil and soy sauce and you can sauté the vegetables with minced garlic, salt and soy sauce if desired.

Make Ahead: Prep everything a day in advance! To save time, prep and cut all of your vegetables, cook everything and store in the fridge overnight. On the day of, simply reheat everything, make your rice, eggs and mix up the bibimbap sauce and enjoy!
