Ingredients
Ground Turkey
Ground turkey serves as the main protein source in this bowl. It is leaner than beef and contains high-quality protein necessary for muscle repair and growth. You’ll need one pound of ground turkey to create enough filling for four servings.
Brown Rice
Brown rice is used as the base of the dish. It is whole grain and provides essential nutrients like fiber and B vitamins. Cook two cups of brown rice according to package instructions to ensure you have enough for everyone.
Soy Sauce
Soy sauce adds depth to the dish’s flavor profile. It contains sodium that compliments the sweetness of other ingredients well. You’ll need half a cup of low-sodium soy sauce to keep the dish healthier while still flavorful.
Honey
Honey contributes natural sweetness to the teriyaki sauce without overwhelming sugar content. It balances the savory elements beautifully. Use three tablespoons of honey to achieve that perfect sweet-savory combination.
Garlic
Garlic enhances flavor while also providing health benefits such as antioxidants. Mince three cloves of garlic finely to integrate its rich aroma into your dish seamlessly.
Ginger
Fresh ginger adds warmth and spice to your teriyaki sauce. It also offers anti-inflammatory properties that are beneficial for digestion. Grate about one tablespoon of fresh ginger for an aromatic touch.
Vegetables (Bell Peppers, Broccoli)
Adding colorful veggies boosts nutrition and visual appeal. Use one red bell pepper, one yellow bell pepper, and two cups of broccoli florets, chopped into bite-sized pieces for vibrant colors and textures.
