Ingredients
- 1 cup dry jasmine rice
- 2 cups low sodium vegetable broth
- 1 ½ Tablespoon olive oil divided
- 1 12 oz packaged coleslaw mix or broccoli slaw
- 1 8 oz bag snap peas sliced diagonally into ¼-inch peices
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- ¾ teaspoon salt divided
- ½ teaspoon pepper divided
- ½ yellow onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 inch knob fresh ginger minced, 1 teaspoon
- 1 lb ground turkey I used 93% lean
- ¼ cup low sodium tamari
- 2 Tablespoons Sriracha
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- sesame seeds for serving
- green onion for serving
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- While turkey is cooking, make sauce by whisking together tamari, sriracha and honey in a small bowl.
- 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.
- Divide rice into 4 bowls, top with ¼ of turkey and veggie mixture. Top with green onion and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
