Meal prep & storage
This bowl doubles or triples easily, so cook a big batch of rice and turkey at once and portion into airtight containers. Stored in the fridge, the components keep well for up to 4 days, or freeze the turkey and beans mixture for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave with a splash of water to loosen the rice, then add the feta fresh after warming so it stays creamy.
Swaps
Ground chicken or lean ground beef work seamlessly in place of turkey, and crumbled goat cheese or a dairy-free feta alternative both keep that tangy finish. Swap white rice for brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice depending on what you have, and try kale or arugula if you are out of spinach. Pinto or kidney beans stand in nicely for black beans without changing the overall character.
