Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound lean ground turkey
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup broccoli florets, chopped
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup shelled edamame (fresh or frozen)
3 cups cooked Jasmine rice (or brown rice/cauliflower rice)
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
3 green onions, thinly sliced, for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients: Cook rice according to package directions. Mince garlic and grate ginger. Chop broccoli and shred carrots. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and cornstarch; set aside.
2. Brown Turkey: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add olive oil, if using. Add ground turkey and break it up with a spoon. Cook until fully browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
3. Sauté Aromatics & Veggies: Push turkey to one side of the pan. Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the empty side; sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add broccoli, carrots, and edamame to the pan. Sauté with the turkey for 3-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
4. Simmer Sauce: Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce mixture over the turkey and vegetables. Stir everything together until well coated. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
5. Assemble Bowls: Divide cooked rice among four serving bowls. Top with the teriyaki turkey and vegetable mixture. Garnish generously with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve hot and enjoy!
