These Teriyaki Turkey Rice Bowls are made with healthy ground turkey and veggies in a sweet teriyaki sauce served over white or brown rice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (or less as desired)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or less as desired)
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons warm water
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 cup broccoli, finely chopped
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and grated
  • 2 green onions, diced (for garnish)
  • 4 cups cooked white or brown rice

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and warm water until dissolved. Set aside.

2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, water, red wine vinegar, sugars, garlic, and ginger. Stir until sugars are fully dissolved.

3. Slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry and simmer until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.

4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onions and cook until softened, stirring frequently.

5. Stir in minced garlic. Add ground turkey and break apart with a spatula. Cook for 4-5 minutes until partially cooked.

6. Add grated carrots and chopped broccoli. Continue cooking for 5-6 minutes until turkey is fully cooked and vegetables are tender.

7. Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the turkey and vegetables. Stir well and let simmer for 5 minutes.

8. Divide cooked rice into bowls. Top with teriyaki turkey mixture. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot.

Notes

Feel free to reduce the amount of sugar in the sauce for a more savory flavor—use 1 tablespoon of each instead of 2.

This recipe can be easily customized with your favorite vegetables like bell peppers, snap peas, or zucchini.

Using brown rice instead of white rice adds fiber and nutrients.

A serving is approximately 3/4 cup of rice and 1 cup of the turkey and veggie mixture.

Recipe yields 4-6 servings depending on portion sizes.
