Packed with lean ground turkey, fresh vegetables, and a flavorful teriyaki sauce, it’s perfect served over steamed rice for a satisfying weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 ½ cups chopped white onion
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 cups broccoli florets, chopped small
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 ½ cups teriyaki sauce
  • 4 cups cooked rice (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Rice: Prepare 1½ cups of rice according to the package instructions, using either a rice cooker or a pot on the stove. Set aside once cooked.
  2. Prep the Vegetables: Shred the carrots, chop the onions, mince the garlic cloves, and chop the broccoli into bite-size pieces to have everything ready for cooking.
  3. Sauté Aromatics: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the onion becomes translucent, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  4. Cook Ground Turkey: Add the ground turkey to the pan. Use a wooden spatula to break it apart and cook until it is no longer pink, ensuring it’s fully cooked through.
  5. Add Vegetables: Stir in the broccoli, shredded carrots, and frozen peas. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is just tender but still crisp. Stir occasionally.
  6. Add Teriyaki Sauce: Pour 1 ½ cups of teriyaki sauce over the turkey and vegetables. Mix thoroughly and cook for another 1-2 minutes to heat the sauce and allow the flavors to blend.
  7. Serve: Spoon the cooked rice into bowls and top with the teriyaki ground turkey and vegetable mixture. Serve immediately and enjoy your wholesome meal!
