Ingredients

Scale

Teriyaki Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 2 tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (or less as desired)
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (or less as desired)
  • 2 teaspoons Minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons Warm water

Ground Turkey and Vegetables

  • 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup Diced onion
  • 2 tablespoons Minced garlic
  • 1 pound Ground Turkey
  • 1 cup Broccoli (finely chopped)
  • 2 Large carrots (peeled and grated)

To Serve

  • 4 cups Cooked white or brown rice
  • 2 Green onions (diced, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Teriyaki Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and warm water until the cornstarch is fully dissolved and set this slurry aside. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, water, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, granulated sugar, minced garlic, and ground ginger. Whisk gently until the sugars fully dissolve, then slowly pour in the cornstarch mixture, whisking continuously. Allow the sauce to simmer until it thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Cook the Aromatics: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and cook while stirring frequently until they soften without browning; reduce the heat if onions start to scorch. Next, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute to release its aroma.
  3. Cook the Turkey and Vegetables: Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is about halfway cooked through, approximately 4-5 minutes. Then add the grated carrots and finely chopped broccoli, continuing to cook until the turkey is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender, about 5-6 minutes.
  4. Combine with Teriyaki Sauce: Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the turkey and vegetable mixture in the skillet. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes so the flavors meld together.
  5. Serve: Divide the cooked rice evenly among four bowls. Spoon the teriyaki turkey and vegetable mixture on top of the rice. Garnish each bowl with the diced green onions and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sweetness of the sauce by reducing the amount of brown and granulated sugars to your taste.
  • Use brown rice instead of white rice for a healthier and more fiber-rich option.
  • Make sure not to scorch the onions by keeping an eye on the heat while cooking.
  • This recipe can be doubled to serve more guests or for meal prepping.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
