GROUND TURKEY TERIYAKI RICE BOWL

The delicious, sweet teriyaki sauce and the (kind of) hidden veggies in this Teriyaki Turkey Rice Bowl makes this a healthy ground turkey recipe that your whole family will love!

After cooking the ground turkey with some onions and garlic, I grated a few carrots and chopped several stalks of broccoli very fine, and tossed them in with the meat. This gave the illusion that there weren’t very many vegetables in there, but they couldn’t avoid what they could see!

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons warm water
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 1 pound Ground Turkey
• 1 cup finely chopped broccoli
• 2 large carrots, peeled and grated
• 2 green onions, diced, for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Mix soy sauce, 1/4 cup water, red wine vinegar, sugars, garlic and ginger in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir with a whisk until sugar is dissolved.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons warm water and cornstarch until cornstarch is completely dissolved.
3. Heat sauce over medium high heat. Slowly whisk in cornstarch mixture and simmer until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onions and cook until soft.
5. Crumble ground turkey and garlic into the pan and cook until turkey is about half cooked. Add grated carrots and chopped broccoli and continue to cook until turkey is no longer pink.
6. Pour teriyaki sauce over cooked turkey and vegetable mixture and stir. Simmer for about five minutes to combine the flavors.
7. Spoon meat over rice or noodles. Garnish with green onions and serve immediately.

Notes

• Teriyaki Sauce is generally pretty sweet. However, feel free to cut back on the amount of sugar in the sauce. 1-2 tablespoons of each would suffice if you prefer a more savory than sweet flavor. 
• The nutritional information is based on serving this teriyaki turkey over a cup of white rice. Use brown rice or just less rice to reduce calories and carbs.
