Instructies
- 1.In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- 2.While the quinoa cooks, preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Toss the chopped bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion with half of the olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized.
- 3.Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess fat. Stir in the cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper, and cook for another minute.
- 4.To make the dressing, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the water until you reach a smooth, pourable consistency.
- 5.Assemble the meal prep bowls. Divide the cooked quinoa, roasted vegetables, seasoned turkey, and black beans evenly among four containers. Store the dressing in a separate small container to add just before serving to maintain freshness.
