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
Main Dish
- 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
- Prepare Teriyaki Sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, water, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, granulated sugar, minced garlic, ground ginger, cornstarch, and warm water until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds to release its aroma.
- Cook Ground Turkey: Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it is fully browned and no longer pink, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Add Vegetables: Stir in the finely chopped broccoli and grated carrots. Continue to sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp, maintaining some crunch.
- Simmer with Teriyaki Sauce: Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the turkey and vegetable mixture. Stir well to coat everything evenly and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and meld with the ingredients.
- Serve: Spoon the teriyaki turkey mixture over cooked white or brown rice. Garnish with diced green onions for a fresh, vibrant finish.
Notes
- For a spicier twist, add a teaspoon of chili flakes or sriracha to the teriyaki sauce.
- Use brown rice for a healthier, higher-fiber option.
- Feel free to substitute ground turkey with ground chicken or tofu for variation.
- Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat nicely.
