Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 ½ cups chopped white onion
1 lb lean ground turkey
1 cup shredded carrots
2 cups broccoli florets, chopped small
1 cup frozen peas
1 ½ cups teriyaki sauce
4 cups cooked rice, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Rice: Cook 1 ½ cups of rice according to package instructions using a rice cooker or on the stove. Set aside.
- Prep the Vegetables: Shred 1 cup of carrots, chop 1 ½ cups of onion, mince 3 garlic cloves, and chop 2 cups of broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
- Cook the Aromatics: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent.
- Cook the Ground Turkey: Add 1 lb of ground turkey to the pan. Break apart the turkey with a spatula and cook until it is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the Vegetables: Add 2 cups of chopped broccoli, 1 cup of shredded carrots, and 1 cup of frozen peas to the pan. Stir to combine. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the broccoli is tender but still crisp.
- Add the Teriyaki Sauce: Pour in 1 ½ cups of teriyaki sauce over the turkey and vegetables. Stir to coat evenly. Let the sauce heat through for 1-2 minutes.
- Serve: Scoop the cooked rice into bowls and top with the teriyaki ground turkey and vegetable mixture. Serve and enjoy!
