Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • Cooked rice or quinoa, for serving

Sauce Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)

Other Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rice/Quinoa: Cook rice or quinoa according to package directions and set aside to serve as the base for the bowls.
  2. Heat the Oil: Warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat to ensure even cooking of the turkey.
  3. Cook the Turkey: Add 1 pound ground turkey to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned and cooked through.
  4. Add Broccoli: Stir in 2 cups broccoli florets and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is tender but still crisp, maintaining its vibrant color.
  5. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1 tablespoon sriracha until smooth and combined.
  6. Combine Ingredients: Pour the sauce over the turkey and broccoli in the skillet, stirring well to coat everything evenly.
  7. Simmer: Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
  8. Serve: Spoon the sweet and spicy turkey and broccoli mixture over the cooked rice or quinoa and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality ground turkey and broccoli for the best flavor and nutritional value.
  • Adjust the honey and sriracha amounts to suit your preferred level of sweetness and spice.
  • For firmer broccoli, blanch or steam it separately before adding to the skillet.
  • Add minced garlic or grated ginger to the sauce for extra depth of flavor.
  • A squeeze of fresh lime juice just before serving adds a refreshing zestiness.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds, chopped green onions, or nuts like cashews or peanuts for added texture and taste.
  • Leftovers store well in airtight containers for 3-4 days in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer.
