Ingredients

For the turkey, rice, and veggies

  • 1 cup uncooked brown rice about 3 cups cooked
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil
  • ½ cup diced onion
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 3 cups chopped broccoli
  • 1 cup frozen peas thawed

For the teriyaki sauce

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons warm water
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Cook the brown rice according to package instructions. 
  • In a large frying pan or wok, sauté the onions and garlic in the 2 tablespoons of oil for about 5 minutes.  Sauté until they are soft and the onion is translucent.  
  • Add the ground turkey to the frying pan and cook until the turkey is cooked through and is no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes.  Season the ground turkey with the 1 tablespoon of ground ginger and 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce.  Carefully drain off any excess liquid that cooked out of the ground turkey if needed.  Return the frying pan to the heat.  
  • Add the chopped broccoli, shredded carrot and thawed peas.  Toss them into the turkey, onion and garlic mixture.  Cook for an additional 5 minutes.  
  • Add the cooked brown rice to the turkey and vegetable mixture.  Mix until thoroughly combined.  Remove from heat and set aside. 
  • Make the teriyaki sauce.  In a small bowl, combine the 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of warm water.  Use a small whisk to stir the cornstarch and water together.  Mix until the cornstarch has dissolved and the cornstarch and water has turned into a thick, white liquid.  
  • Add the rest of the teriyaki sauce ingredients to a small saucepan over medium heat - soy sauce, ½ cup water, rice vinegar, brown sugar, honey, garlic powder, ground ginger and sesame seeds.  Using a whisk, continuously stir the teriyaki sauce until the sauce has come to a gentle simmer.  
  • Once simmering, slowly pour the cornstarch and water mixture into the teriyaki sauce.  Continue whisking the sauce over medium heat until the sauce has thickened and slightly reduced.  
  • Remove the teriyaki sauce from the heat and pour the sauce over the turkey, veggie and rice mixture.  Mix until combined.  
  • Let cool slightly before serving, and enjoy!
