Ingredients

Scale

Protein & Vegetables

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 cup broccoli, finely chopped
  • 2 large carrots, grated
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic (divided)

Teriyaki Sauce

  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons warm water

Other

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 4 cups cooked white or brown rice

Instructions

  1. Prepare Teriyaki Sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce, 1/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons minced garlic, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons warm water until smooth to create the teriyaki sauce.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant and translucent. Then add the finely chopped broccoli and grated carrots, cooking until the vegetables are tender but still crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Cook Ground Turkey: Push the sautéed vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the ground turkey. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until fully browned and no longer pink, about 6-7 minutes.
  4. Add Teriyaki Sauce and Simmer: Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce into the skillet with the turkey and vegetables. Stir well to combine all ingredients, then reduce heat slightly and simmer for about 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens and coats the mixture evenly.
  5. Serve: Spoon the teriyaki turkey mixture over 4 cups of cooked white or brown rice. Garnish with sliced green onions if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to control salt content.
  • Brown rice adds more fiber and nutrients but white rice works well for texture and flavor.
  • Add chopped green onions or sesame seeds as garnish for extra flavor and crunch.
  • Cooking times may vary depending on stovetop heat and skillet type.
  • For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of chili flakes or sriracha to the sauce.
