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)
  • 2 Green onions (diced, for garnish)

To Serve

  • 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 fully dissolved and set aside.
  2. Mix Sauce Ingredients: 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 are completely dissolved, preparing the teriyaki base.
  3. Thicken the Sauce: Slowly whisk in the cornstarch mixture and allow the sauce to simmer until it thickens, then remove it from the heat and set it aside for later use.
  4. Cook Onions: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onions and cook while stirring frequently, until they soften without scorching. If onions begin to burn, lower the heat immediately.
  5. Add Garlic and Turkey: Stir in the minced garlic, then add the ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook while stirring occasionally until the turkey is halfway cooked, about 4-5 minutes.
  6. Add Vegetables and Finish Cooking: Add the grated carrots and finely chopped broccoli to the skillet. Continue cooking until the turkey is fully cooked through and the vegetables are tender, about 5-6 minutes.
  7. Combine with Sauce: Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the turkey and vegetable mixture. Stir well and let it simmer for about 5 minutes so the flavors meld.
  8. Serve: Divide the cooked rice evenly into bowls. Spoon the teriyaki turkey mixture over the rice, garnish with diced green onions, and serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to control the salt content.
  • You can substitute ground chicken or pork for the turkey if desired.
  • Adjust the sugar amounts in the sauce to taste for a less sweet or sweeter teriyaki sauce.
  • For added crunch, top with toasted sesame seeds or cashews.
  • Cook the rice according to package instructions ahead of time for quicker assembly.
  • Brown the turkey well for extra flavor but avoid overcooking to keep it moist.
