# Instructions:
01 -
Chop 1 lb fresh broccoli florets. Mince 2 cloves garlic and grate 1 tbsp fresh ginger. Slice 2 green onions for garnish. This initial prep ensures a smooth cooking process for your Quick Sweet & Spicy Ground Turkey Broccoli Bowls.
02 -
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp sriracha, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1 tsp cornstarch until smooth. Set aside; this glaze is key to the vibrant flavor of your Quick Sweet & Spicy Ground Turkey Broccoli Bowls.
03 -
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb fresh broccoli florets, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp and slightly charred. Remove broccoli from the skillet and set aside.
04 -
Add 1 lb lean ground turkey to the same skillet. Break it up with a spoon and cook over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
05 -
Reduce heat to medium. Add minced 2 cloves garlic and grated 1 tbsp fresh ginger to the cooked turkey. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the prepared sweet & spicy glaze, stirring constantly until it thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
06 -
Return the sautéed broccoli to the skillet with the glazed turkey. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through. Serve your Quick Sweet & Spicy Ground Turkey Broccoli Bowls immediately, garnished with sliced 2 green onions and 1 tsp sesame seeds.
# Notes:
01 -
Adjust the sriracha to your preferred spice level; for extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic and ginger.
02 -
Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or skillet.
03 -
Feel free to swap broccoli for other quick-cooking vegetables like snap peas, bell peppers, or green beans. Chicken or pork can also be used instead of turkey.
04 -
For a more complete meal, serve these bowls over a bed of steamed brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice.
