# Required Ingredients:

→ Teriyaki Sauce

01 - 60 ml soy sauce
02 - 36 g brown sugar
03 - 240 ml water, divided
04 - 30 ml honey
05 - 3 garlic cloves, minced
06 - 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated or minced
07 - 16 g corn starch
08 - 1 tablespoon orange zest

→ Stir Fry

09 - 450 g ground turkey
10 - 10 ml sesame oil
11 - 300 g broccoli florets, fresh or frozen
12 - 1 small onion, diced
13 - 100 g shredded carrots
14 - Salt, to taste
15 - Black pepper, to taste

# How to Make It:

01 - Combine 180 ml water, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, honey, and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until incorporated.
02 - Bring mixture to a gentle boil. Whisk corn starch with 60 ml water until smooth, then gradually add to saucepan, stirring continuously. Simmer until thickened, then remove from heat and stir in orange zest. Set aside.
03 - Heat sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened.
04 - Add ground turkey to the pan and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until fully cooked and no pink remains, about 7–10 minutes. Ensure internal temperature reaches 74°C.
05 - Add broccoli florets and shredded carrots to the turkey. Stir-fry for 4–5 minutes until vegetables are tender but retain texture.
06 - Reduce heat to low. Pour prepared teriyaki sauce over the stir fry and mix until everything is evenly coated. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
07 - Serve hot as desired, such as over steamed rice, noodles, or in lettuce wraps.

# Additional Information:

01 - Ground chicken, pork, or beef can replace turkey; ensure excess fat is drained when using red meat.
02 - Customize with additional vegetables like bell pepper, snow peas, or baby corn.
03 - For added spice, include red pepper flakes, cayenne, or sriracha.
04 - If the sauce thickens too much, adjust consistency by stirring in extra water.
05 - Serve with rice, noodles, cauliflower rice, or use as filling for lettuce wraps.
