Ingredients

Scale

For the 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

For the Stir-fry

  • 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)

For Serving

  • 4 cups Cooked white or brown rice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Teriyaki Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, water, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, granulated sugar, minced garlic, ground ginger, cornstarch, and warm water. Whisk until smooth to create a balanced, flavorful sauce.
  2. Cook the Vegetables: Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent. Then incorporate finely chopped broccoli and grated carrots, cooking until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant.
  3. Brown the Turkey: Add the ground turkey to the skillet with the vegetables, stirring frequently to break it apart and cook evenly until fully browned with no pink remaining.
  4. Combine Everything: Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce into the skillet with the turkey and vegetables. Stir thoroughly to coat all ingredients well. Reduce heat slightly and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens to a glossy consistency.
  5. Serve Over Rice: Spoon cooked white or brown rice into bowls. Top with the teriyaki turkey mixture and garnish with diced green onions. Serve immediately for a comforting, satisfying meal.

Notes

  • Adjust the sweetness of the sauce by reducing brown and granulated sugar to your preference.
  • For a spicier dish, add chili flakes or sliced jalapeños when combining the sauce.
  • Use brown rice for a nuttier flavor and higher fiber content.
  • Fresh spinach or arugula can be added for extra greens and nutrients.
  • To make this gluten-free, use tamari or a gluten-free soy sauce alternative.
  • To lighten the dish, serve the turkey mixture in lettuce cups instead of over rice.
