Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Pour cauliflower rice on a greased cookie sheet. Bake approximately 20 minutes until golden. 
2. While cauliflower is baking, warm pan over medium-high heat to prepare Teriyaki sauce. Add sesame oil, minced garlic, and ground ginger to the pan and fry until fragrant, about 1 minute. 
3. Pour in liquid aminos, rice vinegar, white sugar, brown sugar, and black pepper. Cook until boiling, stirring frequently. Once boiling, turn down to low and allow to simmer for 10 minutes. 
4. In small container, mix corn starch and 2Tbs water. Mix corn starch and water mixture into the Teriyaki sauce and allow sauce to simmer another 5 minutes. 
5. Warm large skillet with some oil. Add yellow onion and red pepper and cook until translucent, approximately 2 minutes. Add ground turkey, crumbling and mixing with spatula. Cook until browned.
6. Add approximately 1/4c-1/2c of sauce to ground turkey and mix well. 
7. To assemble bowls: place cauliflower in the bottle of a bowl and top with teriyaki ground turkey. Top with sesame seeds, green onions, and & red chili flakes to taste. Serve with vegetable of choice.
8. Note: This recipe makes much more teriyaki sauce than needed. I poured the remainder into glass mason jar and stored in the fridge.
