- 2 tablespoons soy sauce

- 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.
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat to prepare for cooking the ground turkey.
