Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice, for serving
- Sliced green onions and sesame seeds, for garnish
- Steamed broccoli, for side
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and cook until browned and crispy, 5–7 minutes.
- Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
- In a small bowl, whisk honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes (if using), black pepper, and water.
- Pour sauce over turkey and bring to a simmer. In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch with 1 tbsp cold water, then stir into the skillet.
- Cook 2–3 minutes until glossy, thickened, and coats the turkey.
- Serve over rice, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, alongside steamed broccoli.
Notes
- For extra crunch, top with chopped roasted peanuts or cashews.
- Make it keto: Swap rice for cauliflower rice and use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
- Double the sauce and save half for later — great on salads or as a stir-fry dip.
