Ingredients for Philly Cheesesteak Bowl
- 1 lb ground turkey (or chicken for a leaner alternative)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or your preferred cooking oil)
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper (any color), thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 2 tablespoons milk (or more for desired consistency)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley or chives (optional)
- Extra cheese, if desired
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Turkey: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Remove the turkey from the skillet and set it aside.
- Sauté the Veggies: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the veggies are tender and lightly browned. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Make the Cheese Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, shredded provolone, and milk. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- Assemble the Bowls: To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked turkey mixture among 4 bowls. Top with the sautéed veggies and pour the warm cheese sauce over everything. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives, and sprinkle with additional cheese if desired.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve your Philly cheesesteak bowls immediately, and enjoy the delicious, cheesy goodness!
Notes
- Double the cheese sauce: If you’re a fan of cheesy dishes, don’t be afraid to make a little extra sauce. The cheese sauce is what really brings the dish together.
- Customize the toppings: These bowls are incredibly versatile. Add pickled jalapeños, avocado slices, or crispy onions for an extra crunch.
- Use a non-stick skillet: This will make it easier to cook the turkey and veggies without them sticking to the pan.
