Ingredients
  

For the Bowl
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1.5 cups chopped white onion
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 cups broccoli florets, chopped small
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1.5 cups teriyaki sauce
  • 4 cups cooked rice to serve with (optional)

Equipment

  • Large skillet or pan

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet. Cook for about 3 minutes until the onion softens.
  3. Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Break it up with a spoon and cook until it is fully browned. Drain any excess liquid if necessary.
  4. Stir in the shredded carrots, broccoli florets, and frozen peas. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the turkey and vegetable mixture. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Serve the teriyaki ground turkey mixture over cooked rice, if you are using it.

Notes

This recipe is simple to prepare when you need a fast, satisfying meal. You can easily adjust the amount of teriyaki sauce based on your preference for sweetness or saltiness. For meal prepping, divide the mixture into containers without the rice, and add the rice when you reheat it later in the week.
