Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Vegetables
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 cup broccoli, finely chopped
- 2 large carrots, grated
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
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
- Prepare Teriyaki Sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, 1/4 cup water, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, granulated sugar, minced garlic, ground ginger, cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons warm water until smooth and well combined to create the teriyaki sauce.
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Then add finely chopped broccoli and grated carrots and cook until they are tender but still crisp, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Cook Ground Turkey: Add the ground turkey to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Break the turkey apart with a spatula and cook until fully browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
- Add Teriyaki Sauce & Simmer: Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the turkey and vegetables. Stir well to combine. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients nicely.
- Serve: Spoon the teriyaki turkey mixture over bowls of cooked white or brown rice. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired and serve warm.
Notes
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to control salt levels.
- For added crunch, you can top with toasted sesame seeds or chopped nuts.
- Brown rice adds a nuttier flavor and higher fiber, but white rice works well too.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of brown and granulated sugar to taste.
- For a spicier kick, add a dash of crushed red pepper flakes or Sriracha sauce.
- Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
