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

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

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

Instructions

  1. Make Teriyaki Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and warm water until cornstarch is completely dissolved. Set aside. In a small saucepan over medium heat, gently whisk soy sauce, water, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, granulated sugar, minced garlic, and ground ginger until sugars are dissolved. Slowly whisk in cornstarch mixture and simmer until thickened, then remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Cook Vegetables: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onions and cook while stirring frequently until softened, taking care to lower heat if onions begin to scorch.
  3. Add Garlic and Turkey: Stir in minced garlic, then add ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for 4-5 minutes until turkey is about halfway cooked.
  4. Cook Carrots and Broccoli: Add grated carrots and chopped broccoli to the skillet. Continue cooking until turkey is no longer pink and vegetables are tender, about 5-6 minutes.
  5. Combine with Teriyaki Sauce: Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the turkey and vegetable mixture and stir to combine. Simmer for about 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Serve: Divide cooked rice into bowls, top with the teriyaki turkey mixture, garnish with diced green onions, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sugar levels in the teriyaki sauce for your preferred sweetness.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to control the saltiness of the dish.
  • Brown or white rice can be used based on your preference or dietary needs.
  • Ensure turkey is cooked thoroughly to at least 165°F for food safety.
  • Add other vegetables like snap peas or bell peppers for extra nutrition and color.
