Ingredients
  

For the Bowl
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1.5 cups white onion chopped
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 cups broccoli florets chopped small
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1.5 cups teriyaki sauce Use gluten-free if needed
  • 4 cups cooked rice for serving (optional)

Equipment

  • Large skillet or pan
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the minced garlic and chopped white onion to the skillet. Cook for about 3 minutes until the onion softens.
  3. Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Break it up with a spoon and cook until it is browned through, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the shredded carrots, broccoli florets, and frozen peas. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Pour in the teriyaki sauce. Stir everything together and let it simmer for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the turkey and vegetables.
  6. Serve the mixture over cooked rice, if you are using it, to create your bowls.

Notes

This recipe works well for meal prepping. You can divide the cooked mixture into containers and store it in the refrigerator for up to four days. If you do not have rice, you can serve this mixture over cauliflower rice for a lower-carb option.
