Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 3 cup broccoli florets
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (or 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger)
- 1/3 cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 to 2 teaspoon sriracha (to taste)
Instructions
1. Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, breaking it up as you go, until it’s nicely browned and cooked through.
2. Once the turkey is cooked, toss in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for about 30 seconds, just until the fragrance blooms.
3. Next, add the broccoli florets and 2 to 3 tablespoon of water to the skillet. Cover and steam the broccoli for 3 to 5 minutes, until it’s tender-crisp. Uncover the skillet and let any excess water cook off.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, honey, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and sriracha. Adjust the sriracha to your desired spice level.
5. Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir to coat the turkey and broccoli. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
6. Spoon the Sweet & Spicy Ground Turkey Broccoli Bowls over a bed of cooked rice. Garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and sliced green onions for a beautiful and flavorful presentation.
