Ingredients
Scale
1 lb ground turkey
2 cups cooked white or brown rice
1 cup broccoli florets
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1 tbsp sesame oil
For the teriyaki sauce:
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water
Sesame seeds and extra green onions, for garnish
Instructions
Cook rice according to package instructions and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and cornstarch slurry. Set aside.
Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes.
Add broccoli and carrots to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce into the skillet and stir to coat the turkey and vegetables. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Serve the turkey mixture over bowls of cooked rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
