Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Vegetables

  • 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 (about 2 cups cooked)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rice/Quinoa: Cook your rice or quinoa according to the package directions and set aside to be served later with the turkey and broccoli mixture.
  2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat to prepare for cooking the ground turkey.
  3. Cook the Turkey: Add 1 pound of ground turkey to the hot skillet. Cook it until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, approximately 5-7 minutes, ensuring the meat is fully cooked.
  4. Add Broccoli: Stir in 2 cups of broccoli florets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is tender but still crisp to retain its texture.
  5. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1 tablespoon sriracha until well combined to create a sweet and spicy sauce.
  6. Combine Ingredients: Pour the prepared sauce over the turkey and broccoli mixture in the skillet. Stir well to coat everything evenly with the sauce.
  7. Simmer: Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes so the flavors meld together, enhancing the taste of the dish.
  8. Serve: Scoop the turkey and broccoli mixture over servings of cooked rice or quinoa. Enjoy your flavorful and nutritious meal!
