Teriyaki Ground Turkey Skillet with Vegetables
Description
Teriyaki Ground Turkey Skillet with Vegetables combines sautéed red onion, grated ginger, and chopped carrots and radishes cooked first to soften. Ground turkey is then browned in the same pan before adding a flavorful teriyaki sauce and combining with zucchini and baby spinach. The dish simmers briefly until the turkey is fully cooked and the vegetables reach desired tenderness. If excess sauce remains, it is reduced by increasing heat and stirring. The savory, slightly sweet layers from the teriyaki marinade and fresh ginger create a balance with the earthy vegetables.
Optional toppings of chopped chives and sesame seeds add fresh herbal notes and toasty crunch. This skillet meal is versatile to serve with steamed rice, cauliflower rice, or as is for a protein-rich dinner. The recipe allows for easy substitution of the teriyaki sauce for low-FODMAP versions if dietary needs require.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1/2 red onion finely chopped*
- 2 carrot peeled and chopped, large
- 1 radish chopped, bunch
- 1 Tbsp ginger peeled and grated, fresh
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce see note*
- 2 zucchini chopped, medium
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1/2 tsp salt to taste, sea salt
For Serving (Optional)
- 1 chives chopped, bunch
- 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large (12-inch) skillet with deep sides over medium heat. Add the red onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the carrots, radishes, and ginger. Cover and cook 3 minutes.
- Scoot the vegetables off to one side of the skillet and add the ground turkey. Brown on one side for 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and continue browning another 2 minutes. Give everything a big stir to combine it all together.
- Add the teriyaki sauce, chopped zucchini, spinach, and sea salt. Cover and cook until turkey has cooked through and vegetables have reached desired done-ness, about 4 to 5 minutes. If there is much liquid left in the pan, increase the heat to medium-high and continue cooking and stirring until much of the liquid has evaporated.
- Serve with chopped chives and sesame seeds. You can also serve this ground turkey skillet with steamed rice or cauliflower rice and more teriyaki sauce.
Notes
- For a low-FODMAP version, omit onion and garlic and use a certified low-FODMAP teriyaki sauce.
- Store-bought paleo teriyaki sauces like Coconut Secret are convenient options matching the flavor profile.
