Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small saucepan, combine ¾ cup water, ¼ cup soy sauce, ¼ cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons honey, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger. Heat over medium-high until the mixture reaches a low boil, stirring occasionally.
  2. While the sauce is heating, whisk ¼ cup of water with 2 tablespoons of corn starch in a separate bowl until smooth. Once the sauce is boiling, slowly stir this corn starch mixture into the bubbling concoction. Allow it to thicken, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
  3. In a large wok or skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add 1 diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.
  4. Next, introduce 1 pound of ground turkey to the wok. Break it apart with a spatula, cooking for about 7-10 minutes until it’s fully browned.
  5. Add 3 cups of broccoli florets and 1 cup of shredded carrots to the turkey and onion. Stir-fry until they turn bright green and are tender yet crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and pour in your prepared teriyaki sauce, stirring gently to coat all the ingredients. Allow everything to simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
  7. To serve, spoon the Ground Turkey Teriyaki Stir Fry over a bed of rice or your preferred base and enjoy!
