Ground Turkey Teriyaki Stir Fry (Print)

Juicy ground turkey with crisp veggies in a sweet-savory teriyaki sauce, ready in half an hour.

# Ingredients:

→ Teriyaki Sauce

01 - 60 ml soy sauce
02 - 36 g brown sugar
03 - 240 ml water, divided
04 - 30 ml honey
05 - 3 garlic cloves, minced
06 - 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated or minced
07 - 16 g corn starch
08 - 1 tablespoon orange zest

→ Stir Fry

09 - 450 g ground turkey
10 - 10 ml sesame oil
11 - 300 g broccoli florets, fresh or frozen
12 - 1 small onion, finely diced
13 - 100 g shredded carrots
14 - Salt, to taste
15 - Black pepper, to taste

# Steps:

01 - In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 180 ml water, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, honey, and brown sugar. Stir to mix thoroughly.
02 - Bring mixture to a low boil. In a separate bowl, whisk corn starch with remaining 60 ml water until dissolved, then gradually pour slurry into saucepan while stirring. Allow sauce to thicken.
03 - Remove saucepan from heat. Stir in orange zest. Set sauce aside until ready to use.
04 - Heat sesame oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and cook for several minutes until softened.
05 - Add ground turkey to the pan, breaking apart with a spatula. Cook for 7–10 minutes until no longer pink and internal temperature reaches 74°C.
06 - Add broccoli florets and shredded carrots to the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are just tender.
07 - Reduce heat to low. Pour teriyaki sauce over the mixture and toss to coat evenly. Simmer for a few minutes until heated through.
08 - Adjust salt and pepper as desired. Serve immediately, optionally over steamed rice or alternative bases.

# Notes:

01 - Ground chicken, pork, or beef can replace turkey; drain excess fat when using higher-fat meats.
02 - Spice level can be increased by adding cayenne, red pepper flakes, or a dash of sriracha.
03 - Feel free to incorporate other vegetables such as snow peas, bell peppers, or baby corn for added variety.
04 - Serve over rice, noodles, cauliflower rice, or use for lettuce wraps as a flexible serving option.
05 - If sauce consistency is too thick, incorporate water gradually until desired thinness is achieved.
