Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey (93/7 lean preferred)
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets (bite-sized pieces)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
- 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa (for serving)
Instructions
Preparation
- Cook rice or quinoa according to package directions and keep warm.
- Prep broccoli into uniform bite-sized pieces.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the oil shimmers slightly.
Cooking
- Add the ground turkey, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon.
- Cook for 5-7 minutes until no pink remains and the turkey develops light golden edges.
- Add broccoli florets to the skillet with turkey. Stir well and cook for 3-4 minutes until the broccoli turns bright green and becomes tender-crisp.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, and sriracha until smooth.
- Pour the sauce over the turkey and broccoli mixture, stirring immediately to coat everything evenly.
- Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with more sriracha or honey as needed.
- Serve immediately over prepared rice or quinoa. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
Notes
For added flavor, consider garnishing with sesame seeds or chopped green onions. This dish is also wonderful with a side of crispy spring rolls or fresh salad.
