- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 cups broccoli florets
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
Other
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Cooked rice or quinoa, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Rice/Quinoa: Cook your choice of rice or quinoa according to the package instructions and set it aside, ready to serve with the dish.
- Heat the Oil: Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking the turkey.
- Cook the Turkey: Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it is fully browned and cooked through.
- Add Broccoli: Stir in the broccoli florets and cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing them to become tender yet maintain a crisp texture.
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, and sriracha until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the sauce over the turkey and broccoli in the skillet and stir thoroughly to coat all ingredients with the sweet and spicy glaze.
- Simmer: Let the mixture gently simmer for 2-3 minutes so the flavors meld and intensify.
- Serve: Spoon the sauced turkey and broccoli over your prepared rice or quinoa. Serve immediately and enjoy this vibrant, healthy meal.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the heat level according to your preference.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
- You can swap ground turkey for ground chicken or lean ground beef if preferred.
- Adding a sprinkle of sesame seeds or chopped green onions on top can enhance flavor and presentation.
- Cook the broccoli to your desired tenderness—less time for crisp-tender results, more for softer texture.
