Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground turkey 93/7 lean preferred
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets cut into uniform bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce Kikkoman recommended
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp sriracha sauce adjust to taste; start with less for kids
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa for serving
  • sesame seeds and sliced green onions optional garnish

Equipment

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

Method
 

  1. Cook brown rice or quinoa according to package directions and keep warm. Cut broccoli florets into uniform bite-sized pieces.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers slightly. Add ground turkey and break apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until no pink remains and the turkey develops light golden edges. Avoid stirring too frequently so the turkey can brown.
  3. Add broccoli florets to the skillet with the turkey. Stir well and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until broccoli turns bright green and is just tender-crisp. Do not overcook.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, and sriracha until completely smooth with no honey streaks.
  5. Pour sauce over the turkey and broccoli mixture, stirring immediately to coat everything evenly. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Taste and adjust with more sriracha for heat or honey for balance. Serve immediately over rice or quinoa. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.

Notes

Ground chicken can replace ground turkey with similar results. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with certified gluten-free tamari. For low-carb, serve over cauliflower rice. Store turkey mixture separately from rice in airtight containers for up to 4 days. Recipe doubles well for weekly meal prep.
