# Instructions:
01 -
Combine 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp sriracha, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp sesame oil in a small bowl; whisk well. Mince 3 cloves garlic, grate 1 tbsp fresh ginger, and slice 2 green onions. Have 4 cups broccoli florets ready.
02 -
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb lean ground turkey, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
03 -
Stir in the minced 3 cloves garlic, grated 1 tbsp fresh ginger, and 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (if using) to the browned turkey. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant, ensuring the aromatics are well distributed throughout the turkey.
04 -
Add 4 cups broccoli florets to the skillet with the turkey mixture. Stir well to combine. Cover the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender-crisp. This helps steam the broccoli for your Sweet and Spicy Ground Turkey Broccoli Bowls.
05 -
Pour the prepared sweet and spicy sauce over the turkey and broccoli. Stir everything together until the ingredients are evenly coated. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the Sweet and Spicy Ground Turkey Broccoli Bowls.
06 -
Remove the skillet from heat. Divide the Sweet and Spicy Ground Turkey Broccoli Bowls among four serving bowls. Garnish each bowl generously with the sliced 2 green onions and 1 tsp sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful meal.
