We love Asian inspired recipes, and have quite a few here on the site! Some of our favorites are included in our monthly dinner rotation, like Egg Fried Rice and Crockpot Orange Chicken.

I love Asian inspired dishes, and Teriyaki is a family favorite. The sweet and savory richness of the sauce really compliments the flavors of the ground turkey. Plus it’s loaded with veggies, which means my kids are eating them! You can pair this with steamed rice or noodles, or even wrap it up in a Lettuce Wrap.

GROUND TURKEY TERIYAKI RICE BOWL

Ground turkey recipes are always a winner in our house, like Turkey, Kale and Rice Soup, Turkey Taco Stuffed Shells and Spicy Turkey Meatloaf. These Teriyaki Turkey Rice Bowls almost always top the list of favorites.

My kids are not fans of vegetables. Well, quite frankly that is an understatement. They hate them. So I have had to get clever with how I add veggies to our meals.

INGREDIENTS

Teriyaki Sauce

• 1/2 cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar or less as desired
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar or less as desired
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons warm water

Ground Turkey

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 1 pound Ground Turkey
• 1 cup finely chopped broccoli
• 2 large carrots peeled and grated
• 2 green onions diced, for garnish
• 4 cups cooked white or brown rice divided

INSTRUCTIONS

• Mix soy sauce, 1/4 cup water, red wine vinegar, sugars, garlic and ginger in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir with a whisk until sugar is dissolved.
• In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons warm water and cornstarch until cornstarch is completely dissolved.
• Heat sauce over medium high heat. Slowly whisk in cornstarch mixture and simmer until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onions and cook until soft.
• Crumble ground turkey and garlic into the pan and cook until turkey is about half cooked. Add grated carrots and chopped broccoli and continue to cook until turkey is no longer pink.
• Pour teriyaki sauce over cooked turkey and vegetable mixture and stir. Simmer for about five minutes to combine the flavors.
• Spoon meat over rice or noodles. Garnish with green onions and serve immediately.

NOTES

• Teriyaki Sauce is generally pretty sweet. However, feel free to cut back on the amount of sugar in the sauce. 1 tablespoon of each would suffice if you prefer a more savory than sweet flavor. 
• The nutritional information is based on serving this teriyaki turkey over white rice. Use brown rice or just less rice to reduce calories and carbs.
• Feel free to customize this recipe with your favorite vegetables.
