Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground turkey (lean or regular) Use regular ground turkey for juicier results; lean keeps it lower in fat.
  • 2 cups broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces Trim broccoli into uniform florets for even cooking.
  • 1 cup peas, fresh or frozen Frozen peas work fine and no need to thaw.
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce, store-bought or homemade Many store-bought teriyaki sauces are salty.
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or jasmine) Active time includes prepping rice.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced Add for flavor.
  • to taste salt and pepper Season lightly while cooking.
  • for garnish sesame seeds (optional)

Method
 

Cooking
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon minced garlic and cook about 1 minute until fragrant, watching so it does not brown.
  3. Add 1 lb ground turkey and break it apart with a spatula. Cook until no pink remains and the meat is browned, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Stir in 2 cups broccoli florets and 1 cup peas. Cook 5 to 7 minutes until the broccoli is tender-crisp and the peas are warmed through.
  5. Pour 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce over the turkey and vegetables and stir to coat everything evenly.
  6. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and clings to the ingredients.
  7. Serve the teriyaki turkey mixture over 2 cups cooked rice and sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired.
