Description
A healthy and easy-to-make ground turkey teriyaki rice bowl, perfect for a quick meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- ¼ cup water
- 1 cup cooked brown rice (or white rice)
- ½ cup carrots, shredded
- ½ cup bell peppers, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
- Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, sesame oil, and water. Pour the sauce over the cooked turkey mixture and stir to combine. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes to thicken slightly.
- While the turkey mixture simmers, prepare the rice according to the package instructions if not already cooked.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice between bowls. Top with the turkey mixture, shredded carrots, bell peppers, and sliced green onions.
- Garnish with sesame seeds, if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes to the turkey mixture.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
