Instructions
1. Cut all vegetables and set them aside including red onion, garlic, green bell pepper, jalapeno, and mushrooms. Rinse the pinto beans until clean.

4. Add garlic, bell pepper, jalapeno, mushrooms, and pinto beans. Stir until combined and allow the mixture to simmer on low heat to stay warm.
5. Prepare the rice by cooking it in water until fluffy. Stir in lime juice, cilantro, and a pinch of salt to brighten the flavor.
6. Slice avocado, chop cilantro, cut radishes, and prepare any additional jalapeno or salsa.
7. Assemble bowls with cilantro lime rice, the turkey mixture, and toppings such as salsa, avocado, sour cream, jalapenos, lime, cilantro, and radish slices.
Notes
Brown the turkey well before adding vegetables to build deeper flavor and better texture.
Adjust the spice level by increasing or reducing jalapeno or cayenne powder based on preference.
Fluff the rice before adding lime juice and cilantro to keep the grains separate.
Store rice, turkey mixture, and toppings separately for best texture when reheating or meal prepping.
