Ingredients

For the stir fry

  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 pound Ground Turkey
  • 2 large Carrots sliced ¼" thick
  • 1 head Broccoli cut into florets
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • Green Onions for garnish
  • Sesame Seeds for garnish

For the teriyaki sauce

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is warm, add the raw ground turkey and cook about 5 minutes, until the meat is browned. Crumble ground turkey into small pieces with a wooden spoon as it browns.
    1 Tablespoon Olive Oil, 1 pound Ground Turkey
  • Add the diced vegetables, minced garlic and ground ginger to the pan. Stir fry the vegetables until tender-crisp, about 5 more minutes.
    2 large Carrots, 1 head Broccoli, 4 cloves Garlic, ½ teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, warm water and cornstarch until the sugar dissolves and everything is well combined. There should be no lumps of cornstarch remaining.
    2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar, 1 Tablespoon Rice Vinegar, ¼ Cup Gluten Free Soy Sauce, ¼ Cup Warm Water, 1 Tablespoon Corn Starch
  • Turn the heat down to medium. Pour teriyaki sauce into the skillet and stir well to fully cover the ground meat and veggies. Allow the stir fry to simmer for a few minutes over medium heat, until the sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Serve the turkey teryiaki over rice or in a lettuce wrap and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
