Teriyaki Ground Turkey Skillet with Vegetables

This Teriyaki Ground Turkey Skillet features ground turkey cooked with aromatics like onion, ginger, and a mix of vegetables such as carrots, radishes, zucchini, and baby spinach. The turkey and veggies are simmered together in teriyaki sauce until cooked through, resulting in a savory, slightly sweet dish which can be served over rice or enjoyed on its own. Fresh chives and sesame seeds add garnishing flavor and texture.

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

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
