Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 cup water, divided
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated or minced
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 3 cups broccoli florets, fresh or frozen
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine 3/4 cup water, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, honey, and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir to combine.
- Bring to a low boil. Whisk 1/4 cup water and cornstarch together until dissolved. Slowly stir the slurry into the sauce and allow it to thicken.
- Remove from heat immediately and stir in the orange zest. Set aside.
- Add sesame oil to a wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the onion and cook for several minutes until softened.
- Add the ground turkey and cook until fully cooked through, about 7-10 minutes, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Add the broccoli and carrots and cook until tender and heated through.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in the teriyaki sauce. Simmer for several minutes before serving.
- Serve over rice, noodles, cauliflower rice, or in lettuce wraps.
Notes
- You can substitute ground chicken, pork, or beef for the turkey.
- If using beef, drain excess grease after browning.
- Add cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, or sriracha for extra heat.
- Other vegetables like snow peas, bell peppers, or baby corn work great in this stir fry.
- If the teriyaki sauce becomes too thick, stir in extra water until desired consistency is reached.
