– 2 cups broccoli florets (or mixed vegetables)
– 1 bell pepper, chopped
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
– ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Instructions

Follow these easy steps to create your Healthy Ground Turkey Teriyaki Rice Bowl:

1. Prepare the Rice: Cook the rice according to the package instructions, whether using white or brown rice.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Turkey: Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Stir-fry until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add Vegetables: Next, add the broccoli and bell pepper to the turkey, stirring frequently. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
5. Prepare the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, grated ginger, and sesame oil. In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water until dissolved.
6. Combine Sauce and Turkey: Pour the sauce over the turkey and vegetables in the skillet. Mix well and bring to a simmer.
7. Thicken the Sauce: Gradually add the cornstarch mixture while stirring constantly. Allow it to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
8. Serve Over Rice: Spoon the turkey and vegetable mixture over a serving of cooked rice.
9. Garnish: Top with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for an added flavor boost.
