Ingredients
  

For the Bowl
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1.5 cups white onion chopped
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 cups broccoli florets chopped small
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1.5 cups teriyaki sauce
  • 4 cups cooked rice to serve with (optional)

Equipment

  • Large skillet or pan
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped white onion. Cook for about 3 minutes until the onion softens.
  2. Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Break it up with a spoon and cook until it is fully browned. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
  3. Stir in the shredded carrots, broccoli florets, and frozen peas. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the turkey and vegetable mixture. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Let the mixture simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Serve the teriyaki ground turkey mixture immediately over cooked rice, if you are using it, or enjoy it on its own for a lower-carb option.

Notes

This dish works well for meal prepping. Store the turkey mixture and the rice separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to four days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
