Ingredients

  • 1.0 lemon
  • 1.0 roma tomato
  • 2.0 scallions
  • 3.0 tablespoons butter
  • 4.0 tablespoons sour cream
  • 10.0 oz ground turkey
  • 1.0 teaspoon cooking oil
  • 1.0 teaspoon garlic powder
  • kosher salt (to taste)
  • 2.0 tablespoons mayo
  • pepper (to taste)
  • 1.0 tablespoon shawarma spice blend
  • 1.0 teaspoon turmeric
  • 3.0 units chicken stock concentrate
  • 2.0 teaspoons hot sauce
  • 0.5 cup jasmine rice
  • 0.5 oz sliced almonds
  • 2.0 whole wheat pitas

Instructions

  1. Melt 1 TBSP butter in a small pot over medium heat. Stir in ¼ tsp turmeric until combined. Stir in rice, ¾ cup water, and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to use in step 5.
  2. Meanwhile, bring 2 TBSP butter to room temperature. Wash and dry produce. Quarter lemon. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Dice tomato.
  3. In a small bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Add water 1 tsp at a time until sauce reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites and cook until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Add turkey*, Shawarma Spice, ½ tsp salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Stir in stock concentrates and ¼ cup water. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.
  5. Fluff rice with a fork; stir in almonds and half the scallion greens. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toast pitas. Spread with softened butter; cut each pita into four pieces.
  6. Divide rice between bowls. Top with turkey and tomato in separate sections; sprinkle tomato with a pinch of salt. Drizzle turkey with hot sauce to taste. Drizzle white sauce over bowls; garnish with remaining scallion greens. Serve with pitas and remaining lemon wedges on the side. TIP: If you like, scoop up some of the rice, turkey, tomato, and sauces with the pita and eat it all in one bite!
