Description

A flavorful and healthy Teriyaki Turkey Rice Bowl featuring ground turkey cooked with fresh vegetables in a homemade teriyaki sauce, served over white or brown rice for a quick and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Teriyaki Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 2 tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (or less as desired)
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (or less as desired)
  • 2 teaspoons Minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons Warm water

Ground Turkey and Vegetables

  • 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup Diced onion
  • 2 tablespoons Minced garlic
  • 1 pound Ground Turkey
  • 1 cup Broccoli, finely chopped
  • 2 Large carrots, peeled and grated
  • 2 Green onions, diced for garnish
  • 4 cups Cooked white or brown rice

Instructions

  1. Prepare Teriyaki Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and warm water until fully dissolved; set aside. In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk soy sauce, water, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, granulated sugar, minced garlic, and ground ginger until sugars dissolve completely. Gradually whisk in the cornstarch mixture and simmer the sauce until it thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Cook Ground Turkey and Vegetables: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until softened without burning—lower heat if needed. Stir in minced garlic and add ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until turkey is halfway done.
  3. Add Vegetables: Stir in grated carrots and chopped broccoli. Continue cooking for another 5-6 minutes until turkey is fully cooked through and vegetables are soft.
  4. Add Teriyaki Sauce and Simmer: Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over turkey and vegetables. Stir well to combine and simmer the mixture for about 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  5. Assemble the Bowls: Divide cooked rice evenly into serving bowls. Top with the teriyaki turkey and vegetable mixture. Garnish with diced green onions and serve immediately.
