Banh Mi Style Ground Turkey Bowl with Pickled Vegetables and Fragrant Herbs

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 the olive oil and brown the ground turkey, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until it is golden and slightly crispy at the edges. Season with fish sauce, lime juice, and a touch of palm sugar to create a savory, tangy profile.

In a small bowl, quickly pickle shredded carrots and daikon (or bell peppers) in rice vinegar and a pinch of sugar; set aside to macerate.

In the same skillet, briefly wilt the fresh spinach until just bright green, then remove.

To assemble: Place the warm, fluffy white rice in a bowl. Top with the savory turkey, the wilted spinach, and a generous mound of the pickled vegetables.

Finish with a handful of fresh cilantro, thinly sliced bird's-eye chili for heat, and the toasted slivered almonds for crunch. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lime.
