Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey 93/7
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger minced
  • 1 cup jasmine rice uncooked
  • 2.5 cups broccoli florets
Sauce and Seasoning
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1.5 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp sriracha optional, for heat
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp olive oil for sautéing broccoli
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds optional, for garnish
  • 1 tsp Salt & pepper to taste
  • 2 green onions chopped for garnish

Equipment

  • Cast iron or stainless steel skillet
  • Medium saucepan
  • Garlic press (optional)

Method
 

  1. Prepare jasmine rice in a medium saucepan according to package directions. Set the cooked rice aside.
  2. Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets, season lightly with salt and pepper, and sauté until they are just tender. Remove the broccoli from the skillet and set it aside.
  3. Add the remaining olive oil to the same skillet. Add the ground turkey, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the meat is browned and fully cooked. Break the turkey apart as it cooks.
  4. Stir the minced garlic and ginger into the cooked turkey. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the aromatics smell fragrant.
  5. Add the soy sauce, honey, sriracha (if using), and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir everything together and simmer for about 3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Divide the cooked rice among serving bowls. Top the rice with the turkey mixture, the sautéed broccoli, chopped green onions, and sesame seeds, if you are using them.
