Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

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

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Cook rice or quinoa according to package directions and keep warm. Prep broccoli into uniform bite-sized pieces.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until oil shimmers slightly. Add ground turkey, breaking apart with a wooden spoon. Cook 5-7 minutes until no pink remains and turkey develops light golden edges.
  3. Add broccoli florets to skillet with turkey. Stir well and cook 3-4 minutes until broccoli turns bright green and becomes tender-crisp.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, and sriracha until completely smooth and glossy without honey streaks.
  5. Pour sauce over turkey and broccoli mixture, stirring immediately to coat everything evenly. Simmer 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly and flavors meld together.
  6. 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

Start with less sriracha if serving to children and add more as needed. Can substitute ground chicken for similar results. Store leftovers separately from rice for best texture when reheating. Recipe serves 4 people.
