Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground turkey (93/7 lean preferred)
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets (bite-sized pieces)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa (for serving)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook rice or quinoa according to package directions and keep warm.
  2. Prep broccoli into uniform bite-sized pieces.
Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until oil shimmers slightly.
  2. Add ground turkey, breaking apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5-7 minutes until no pink remains and turkey develops light golden edges.
  3. Add broccoli florets to skillet with turkey. Stir well and cook for 3-4 minutes until broccoli turns bright green and becomes tender-crisp.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, and sriracha until completely smooth and glossy without honey streaks.
  5. Pour sauce over turkey and broccoli mixture, stirring immediately to coat everything evenly. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly and flavors meld together.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with more sriracha or honey as needed.
  7. Serve immediately over prepared rice or quinoa. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.

Notes

Use fresh broccoli for the best texture and flavor. Adjust the sriracha to your spice preference. You can double the recipe for larger gatherings.
