Ingredients

  • 1 cup jasmine rice dry
  • 2 cups vegetable broth low sodium
  • 1 ½ Tablespoon olive oil divided
  • 1 oz coleslaw mix or broccoli slaw, packaged
  • 1 oz bag snap peas sliced diagonally into ¼-inch peices
  • 1 cup carrot shredded
  • ¾ teaspoon salt divided
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper divided
  • ½ yellow onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 inch knob ginger minced, 1 teaspoon, fresh

  • 2 Tablespoons sriracha
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • sesame seeds for serving

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add rice and veggie broth to a saucepan. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let rice sit covered for a few minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
  2. While rice is cooking, cook veggies by heating 1 Tablespoon oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Once hot, add coleslaw mix, snap peas and carrots. Season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon ground pepper and cook for about 4-5 minutes, until veggies start to soften. Don’t cook too long as we want the veggies to still have a little crunch to them! Once veggies are cooked, transfer to a bowl or plate and set aside.
  3. Wipe out your skillet and add an additional ½ Tablespoon olive oil to the pan, heating over medium heat. Once hot, add onion, garlic and ginger. Saute for 3-4 minutes, until onion starts to soften.
  4. Add ground turkey, ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon ground pepper and cook for 6-7 minutes, until turkey is cooked through, breaking up the turkey as it cooks.
  5. While turkey is cooking, make sauce by whisking together tamari, sriracha and honey in a small bowl.
  6. One turkey is cooked through, pour sauce over turkey. Bring sauce to a simmer and cook 2-3 minutes, until it slightly reduces, stirring occasionally. Add veggies back into the pan with the turkey and stir to combine so the veggies get coated in the sauce.
  7. Divide rice into 4 bowls, top with ¼ of turkey and veggie mixture. Top with green onion and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
