Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, sesame oil, and water. Pour the sauce over the cooked turkey mixture and stir to combine. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes to thicken slightly.
While the turkey mixture simmers, prepare the rice according to the package instructions if not already cooked.
To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice between bowls. Top with the turkey mixture, shredded carrots, bell peppers, and sliced green onions.
Garnish with sesame seeds, if desired, and serve immediately.

You can substitute different vegetables based on your preference, such as broccoli or snap peas.
To make it gluten-free, use a gluten-free soy sauce alternative.
For a spicier flavor, add a drizzle of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
