# Instructions:
01 -
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 1/2 tsp sriracha, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 2 tbsp water. Mince 3 cloves garlic and grate 1 tsp fresh ginger. This glaze is key for your Sweet & Spicy Turkey Broccoli Bowls (30-Min Meal Prep).

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 4 cups broccoli florets and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp and slightly charred. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove broccoli from the skillet and set aside.
03 -
Add 1 lb lean ground turkey to the same skillet. Break it apart with a spoon and cook over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes, until fully browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat. Season the turkey with salt and black pepper to taste.
04 -
Reduce heat to medium. Add the minced 3 cloves garlic and grated 1 tsp fresh ginger to the cooked turkey. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour the prepared Sweet Heat Glaze over the turkey, stirring to coat everything evenly.
05 -
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the glaze thickens. Return the cooked 4 cups broccoli florets to the skillet with the turkey. Toss to combine, ensuring all ingredients are coated in the delicious glaze for your Sweet & Spicy Turkey Broccoli Bowls (30-Min Meal Prep).
