Turkey Teriyaki Bowls

Hey ya'll!

I wanted to share this super quick, easy ground turkey recipe because it's something I make all the time after a long day at work. It's easy to throw together and uses minimal dishes to create. (which is also important after working all day!)

It has a lot of flavor and makes a great meal prep for the week as well as a healthy dinner.

I like to keep my recipe posts short and sweet - sometimes spicy ;)

But I know it's daunting to scroll through pages and pages for one screenshot of the recipe.

So let's get started!

What you will need:

For the teriyaki sauce -

• 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce

• 1/4 cup water

• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar or less if desired

• 2 tsp minced garlic

• 1 tsp ground ginger

• 1 tbsp cornstarch

• 2 tbsp warm water

For the meal -

• 1 tbsp vegetable oil

• 1/2 cup diced onion

• 2 tbsp minced garlic

• 1 lb ground turkey

• 1 cup finely chopped broccoli

• 2 large carrots peeled and grated

• 2 green onions diced for garnish

• 4 cups cooked white or brown rice divided for each serving

I like to use Uncle Ben's ready Jasmine rice when I make this because it's quicker and I like the taste of it! It is a white rice but for some reason I just really like it wish this dish and plus I seem to always want to pull off rice before it's done if I boil it on the stove.

I also use this Kitchen Aid Mixer to chop my veggies because it makes life so much easier! I used it here for the onion, broccoli, and carrots. Broccoli got a little too chopped but everything else was perfect.

Instructions:

• Mix all ingredients (EXCEPT cornstarch and warm water) of the teriyaki sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved.

• In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp warm water and cornstarch until cornstarch is completely dissolved.

• Heat sauce over medium heat. Slowly add in cornstarch mixture and simmer until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.

• Heat vegetable oil in small skillet over medium high heat. Add diced onions and cook until soft.

• Crumble ground turkey and garlic into the pan and cook until turkey is about half cooked. Add chopped carrots and broccoli and continue to cook until done.

• Pour teriyaki sauce over cooked turkey and vegetable mixture and stir. Simmer for about 5 minutes.

• Once rice is ready (or if you opted for the ready rice bags) spoon out some of the meat and vegetable mixture over the rice.

• Garnish with green onion and serve, or store for the week!

This is a low calorie, delicious meal and hopefully will be one of your new favorites as well!
