Description
Sweet and Spicy Ground Turkey & Broccoli Bowls are a quick, flavorful, and balanced meal featuring lean ground turkey cooked with a deliciously tangy sweet and spicy sauce, served alongside tender steamed broccoli and your choice of grains or cauliflower rice.
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground turkey
3 cups broccoli florets
2 tablespoons olive oil or sesame oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
1–2 teaspoons sriracha or chili garlic sauce (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Cooked brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice, for serving
Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add broccoli florets and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add remaining oil and cook ground turkey, breaking it apart, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
- Add garlic and ginger to the turkey, sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sriracha, vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Pour sauce over turkey and cook for another 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
- Return broccoli to the skillet and toss to combine with turkey and sauce.
- Serve over cooked brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
Notes
- Substitute ground turkey with ground chicken or beef.
- Add sliced bell peppers or snap peas for extra crunch.
- Use hoisin sauce or teriyaki sauce instead of soy sauce for different flavor profiles.
- Top with chopped peanuts or cashews for added texture.
- Use coconut aminos for a soy-free version.
- Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave. Add a splash of water or broth if needed to loosen sauce.
