Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey 93/7
  • 1 tbsp olive oil Divided
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger minced
  • 1 cup jasmine rice uncooked
  • 2.5 cups broccoli florets
Sauce and Seasoning
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

  • To taste Salt & pepper
Garnish
  • 2 green onions chopped For garnish
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds Optional

Equipment

  • Cast iron or stainless steel skillet
  • Medium saucepan

Method
 

  1. Prepare jasmine rice using package instructions in a medium saucepan. Set the cooked rice aside.
  2. Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large skillet. Add the broccoli florets, season lightly with salt and pepper, and sauté until the broccoli is tender-crisp. Remove the broccoli from the skillet and set it aside.
  3. Add the remaining olive oil to the same skillet. Add the ground turkey, season with salt and pepper, and cook over medium heat until the turkey is fully browned. Break the meat into small pieces while cooking.
  4. Stir the minced garlic and ginger into the cooked turkey. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until you smell the aromatics.
  5. Add the soy sauce, honey, sriracha (if using), and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir well to combine. Simmer the mixture for about 3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Assemble your bowls by dividing the cooked rice among them. Top the rice with the honey garlic turkey mixture, the sautéed broccoli, chopped green onions, and sesame seeds if you are using them.
