01 - 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
02 - 1/4 cup water
03 - 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
04 - 2 tablespoons brown sugar
05 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
06 - 2 teaspoons minced garlic
07 - 1 teaspoon ground ginger
08 - 1 tablespoon cornstarch
09 - 2 tablespoons warm water

→ Ground Turkey

10 - 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
11 - 1/2 cup diced onion
12 - 2 tablespoons minced garlic
13 - 1 pound ground turkey
14 - 1 cup broccoli, finely chopped
15 - 2 large carrots, peeled and grated
16 - 2 green onions, diced, for garnish
17 - 4 cups cooked white or brown rice

# How to Make It:

01 - In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and warm water until cornstarch is completely dissolved. Set aside.
02 - In a small saucepan over medium heat, gently whisk soy sauce, water, red wine vinegar, sugars, minced garlic, and ground ginger until sugars are dissolved. Slowly whisk in cornstarch mixture and simmer until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
03 - Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until softened. Turn down the heat if onions begin to scorch.
04 - Stir in minced garlic. Add ground turkey and break apart with a spatula. Cook until halfway done, about 4-5 minutes. Add grated carrots and chopped broccoli, then cook until turkey is no longer pink and vegetables are softened, about 5-6 minutes.
05 - Pour teriyaki sauce over the turkey and vegetables, stirring to combine. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
06 - Divide cooked rice into bowls. Top with teriyaki turkey mixture. Garnish with diced green onions and serve immediately.

# Additional Information:

01 - Teriyaki sauce can be adjusted for sweetness by reducing the amount of sugar. A more savory flavor can be achieved using 1 tablespoon of each sugar.
02 - Nutritional values are based on serving the dish with white rice. Substitute with brown rice for a healthier option.
03 - Customize the dish with your favorite vegetables to suit your taste.
04 - Serving size is approximately 3/4 cup of rice and 1 cup of meat and vegetables.
