Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar (or less, to taste)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar (or less, to taste)
- 2 teaspoons Minced Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Warm Water
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
- 0.5 cup Diced Onion
- 2 tablespoons Minced Garlic
- 1 pound Ground Turkey
- 1 cup Broccoli, finely chopped
- 2 large Carrots, peeled and grated
- 2 green onions diced (for garnish)
- 4 cups Cooked White or Brown Rice
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and warm water until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the soy sauce, water, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, granulated sugar, minced garlic, and ground ginger. Whisk gently until the sugars are completely dissolved.
- Slowly add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan, stirring continuously. Simmer the sauce until it thickens, then remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring frequently, until softened. If the onions start to scorch, reduce the heat.
- Stir in the minced garlic, then add the ground turkey. Break it apart with a spatula and cook, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is about halfway cooked (about 4-5 minutes).
- Add the grated carrots and chopped broccoli to the skillet. Continue cooking until the turkey is no longer pink and the vegetables are tender (about 5-6 minutes).
- Pour the teriyaki sauce over the turkey and vegetables, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Divide the cooked rice into bowls and top with the teriyaki turkey mixture. Garnish with diced green onions and enjoy immediately!
Notes
For a spicier kick, consider adding a dash of red pepper flakes to the turkey mixture. No alcoholic drinks allowed, please substitute with a non-alcoholic option.
