Equipment

  • wok
  • sauce pan
  • skillet

Ingredients
  

Teriyaki Sauce

  • 0.25 cups soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 cups water divided
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated or minced
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest

Stir Fry

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 3 cups broccoli florets fresh or frozen
  • 1 small onion small diced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Teriyaki Sauce

  • Combine ¾ cup water, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, honey, and brown sugar in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Stir to combine.
  • Bring to a low boil. Whisk ¼ cup water and corn starch together well until corn starch is completely dissolved. Slowly stir in the corn starch mixture (slurry) and allow to thicken. Remove from heat immediately and stir in the orange zest and set aside until ready to add to stir fry.

Stir Fry

  • Add the sesame oil to a wok or skillet over medium high heat. Add the onion to skillet and heat for several minutes to soften. Add in the ground turkey and heat until fully cooked (165°F should be internal temperature), about 7-10 minutes.
  • Add in the broccoli and carrots and cook until heated through and tender. Change the heat to low and stir in the Teriyaki sauce. Simmer for several minutes until ready to serve.
  • Serve over rice or as desired!

Notes

You can vary the meat used in this recipe if desired. Ground chicken, pork or beef would still be delicious. If using beef especially, make sure to drain excess grease from the skillet after browning. Add some spice or heat if desired. Add in some cayenne or red pepper flakes to your ground turkey teriyaki. A touch of sriracha is great as well! You can add a variety of veggies to this recipe as desired. You don't have to stick just with the broccoli. Shredded carrots, snow peas, bell peppers, baby corn and more are great additions! You can serve this ground turkey teriyaki a variety of ways: over rice is a classic option, but cauliflower rice or noodles will work great as well. This also makes great lettuce wraps as well! If your teriyaki is too thick, add in some water until desired thickness.
