Can I use a different meat?

Yes, totally! Try ground chicken, ground beef, or ground pork.

Can I use a different veggies?

Absolutely! You can use any vegetable you'd like in these rice bowls.

How to prevent the ground turkey from drying out?

One way to prevent super dry turkey is to use a ground turkey with a higher fat percentage. The higher percentage fat, the more juicy (and honestly flavorful) the turkey will be! If you want to use a very lean ground turkey, it will simply be drier. However, to ensure it is not too dry do not overcook it. You can check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer and stop cooking when it reaches 165 degrees!

How to store this recipe?

Store this recipe in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for about 5 days - 1 week. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.

Can I freeze this recipe?

Yes, you can freeze this recipe! However, I recommend just freezing the turkey teriyaki mixture - not the cooked broccoli or rice. Transfer the turkey mixture to freezer safe bags or containers and place in the freezer. It will keep for a couple of months!

Ingredients

Scale

1 lb ground turkey
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp minced garlic
2 tsp minced ginger
1 bunch green onion, chopped finely
1 cup brown rice, dry
3 cups chopped broccoli
Salt
Pepper

Teriyaki Sauce

1/2 cup water
3 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp light brown sugar
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar

Corn Starch Slurry

1 tbsp corn starch
2 tbsp water

Instructions

Start by preparing the brown rice according to the package directions.
Next prepare the broccoli however you’d like. I recommend a simple sauté or steam.
Add the water, soy sauce, light brown sugar, and rice wine vinegar to a medium bowl for the teriyaki sauce. Combine. Set aside.
In a separate small bowl combine the corn starch and water for the corn starch slurry. Set aside.
Next add the oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, and the white parts of the green onion to a large skillet or pan on the stove over medium-high heat. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the turkey is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful to not overcook, this will dry out the turkey.
Pour teriyaki sauce and the cornstarch mixture into the skillet. Combine. Simmer until the sauce has reached your desired thickness.
Assemble the bowls with the cooked brown rice, cooked broccoli, and ground turkey teriyaki. Garnish with sesame seeds and the green parts of the green onion.
Serve and enjoy!
