# Method:
01 - Cook rice according to package directions until tender and fluffy. Keep warm until ready to assemble bowls.
02 - Combine rice vinegar, mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated. Adjust heat level with additional Sriracha or sweetness with honey as desired.
03 - Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and break apart with a spatula while cooking. Sauté until browned and no longer pink, approximately 5-7 minutes.
04 - Pour soy sauce and sesame oil over the cooked turkey. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stir thoroughly to distribute seasonings evenly. Continue cooking 1-2 minutes for flavors to meld. Remove from heat.
05 - Portion warm rice evenly into four serving bowls, creating a foundation for each bowl.
06 - Divide seasoned ground turkey among the four bowls, mounding it over the rice.
07 - Place julienned carrots, cucumber slices, and shredded red cabbage around the turkey in each bowl, creating visual appeal and providing crunch.
08 - Generously spoon bang bang sauce over the turkey and vegetables, ensuring even distribution across each bowl.
09 - Scatter sliced scallions and sesame seeds over each bowl. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the bowl before eating.
