Ingredients
Scale
Main:
- 1 lb ground turkey (93% or 99% lean)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups cooked rice (brown, jasmine, or cauliflower rice)
- 2–3 cups vegetables (broccoli florets, sliced bell peppers, shredded carrots, snap peas)
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
Homemade Teriyaki Sauce:
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1½ tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp minced ginger
- 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (slurry for thickening)
Instructions
- Cook the Rice: Prepare your rice according to package instructions. Set aside.
- Make the Teriyaki Sauce: In a bowl, whisk all sauce ingredients except cornstarch slurry. Heat in a pan, add slurry, and stir until thickened.
- Cook the Turkey: In a skillet, heat olive oil. Add garlic and ginger, cook for 30 seconds. Add ground turkey and cook until browned. Drain excess liquid. Stir in teriyaki sauce to coat evenly.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same or separate pan, sauté vegetables until tender-crisp.
- Assemble the Bowl: Place rice in a bowl, top with teriyaki turkey and veggies. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
Notes
Swap turkey with chicken, beef, or tofu. Use cauliflower rice for a lower-carb option. Great for meal prep — store in containers up to 4 days.
