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 oil shimmers slightly.
Cooking Turkey and Broccoli
- Add ground turkey, breaking apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5-7 minutes until no pink remains and turkey develops light golden edges.
- Add broccoli florets to the skillet with turkey. Stir well and cook for 3-4 minutes until broccoli turns bright green and becomes tender-crisp.
Making the Sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, and sriracha until completely smooth and glossy without honey streaks.
- Pour sauce over turkey and broccoli mixture, stirring immediately to coat everything evenly.
- Simmer for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly and flavors meld together.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with more sriracha or honey as needed.
Serving
- Serve immediately over prepared rice or quinoa. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
Notes
