Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare Teriyaki Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and warm water until the cornstarch is completely dissolved; set aside. In a small saucepan over medium heat, gently whisk together soy sauce, water, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, granulated sugar, minced garlic, and ground ginger until the sugars dissolve completely. Slowly whisk in the cornstarch mixture and simmer until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Cook Onions and Garlic: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until softened but not scorched. Immediately reduce heat if onions start to burn. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Cook Ground Turkey: Add ground turkey to the skillet and break it apart with a spatula. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is about halfway cooked, approximately 4 to 5 minutes.
  4. Add Vegetables: Stir in grated carrots and chopped broccoli. Continue cooking until the turkey is no longer pink and the vegetables are tender, about 5 to 6 minutes.
  5. Add Teriyaki Sauce: Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the turkey and vegetable mixture. Stir to combine and simmer for about 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Assemble and Serve: Divide cooked rice into bowls, then top with the teriyaki turkey and vegetable mixture. Garnish with diced green onions and serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • You can reduce the sugar in the teriyaki sauce to 1 tablespoon each of brown and granulated sugar if you prefer a less sweet, more savory flavor.
  • The nutritional info is based on serving the teriyaki turkey over white rice; using brown rice or less rice can help reduce calories and carbohydrates.
  • This recipe is versatile—feel free to add or substitute your favorite vegetables for added variety and nutrition.
  • A typical serving size is approximately ¾ cup of cooked rice topped with about one cup of the turkey and vegetable mixture.
  • Serving sizes may vary depending on cooking methods and vegetable cut sizes. The recipe yields about 4 to 6 servings.
