Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- Cooked rice or quinoa, for serving
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
Other
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Rice/Quinoa: Cook your rice or quinoa following the package instructions, then set aside and keep warm.
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
- Cook the Turkey: Add 1 pound of ground turkey to the skillet and cook, stirring and breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add Broccoli: Stir in 2 cups of broccoli florets and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more, until the broccoli is tender yet still crisp and bright green.
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1 tablespoon sriracha until fully combined.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the sauce over the turkey and broccoli mixture in the skillet, stirring well to coat all the ingredients evenly.
- Simmer: Allow the mixture to simmer on medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes so the flavors meld together and the sauce slightly thickens.
- Serve: Spoon the sweet and spicy ground turkey and broccoli over bowls of cooked rice or quinoa and enjoy your tasty, balanced meal.
