# Instructions:
01 -
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 1/2 tsp sriracha. In a separate small bowl, combine 1 tsp cornstarch and 2 tbsp water to create a slurry. This sauce is key for your Sweet and Spicy Turkey Broccoli Bowls for Dinner.
02 -
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. 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 browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
04 -
Reduce heat to medium. Stir in 2 cloves minced garlic and 1 tsp grated fresh ginger into the cooked turkey. Cook for another 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
05 -
Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the turkey. Stir in 1 tsp sesame oil. Bring to a gentle simmer, then add the cornstarch slurry, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes. This creates the delicious glaze for your Sweet and Spicy Turkey Broccoli Bowls for Dinner.
06 -
Return the cooked broccoli florets to the skillet with the turkey and sauce. Toss gently to coat everything evenly. Serve immediately in bowls. These Sweet and Spicy Turkey Broccoli Bowls for Dinner are perfect for a quick weeknight meal.
07 -
Garnish each bowl generously with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 tbsp thinly sliced green onions before serving. Enjoy your flavorful and healthy meal!
# Notes:
01 -
Adjust the sriracha amount to your preference; for extra heat, add more, or for a milder dish, reduce it.
02 -
For a more complete meal, serve these bowls over steamed brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice.
03 -
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
