Description

These Teriyaki Turkey Rice Bowls are made with healthy ground turkey and veggies in a sweet teriyaki sauce served over white or brown rice.


Ingredients

Scale

Teriyaki 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

Ground Turkey:

  • 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)
  • 4 cups Cooked white or brown rice

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and warm water until cornstarch is completely dissolved. Set aside.

2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, gently whisk soy sauce, water, red wine vinegar, sugars, minced garlic, and ground ginger until sugars are completely dissolved.

3. 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, stirring frequently, until softened. If onions begin to scorch, reduce heat.

5. Stir in minced garlic. Add ground turkey and break apart with a spatula. Cook, stirring occasionally, until turkey is cooked halfway through, about 4-5 minutes.

6. Add grated carrots and chopped broccoli and continue to cook until turkey is no longer pink and vegetables are soft, about 5-6 minutes.

7. Pour teriyaki sauce over the turkey and vegetables and stir. Simmer for about 5 minutes.

8. Divide cooked rice into bowls and top with the teriyaki turkey mixture. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.

Notes

Teriyaki Sauce is generally sweet. You can reduce sugar to 1 tablespoon each for a more savory flavor.

To lower calories and carbs, use brown rice or reduce rice amount.
