• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onions and cook until soft.
• Crumble ground turkey and garlic into the pan and cook until turkey is about half cooked. Add grated carrots and chopped broccoli and continue to cook until turkey is no longer pink.
• Pour teriyaki sauce over cooked turkey and vegetable mixture and stir. Simmer for about five minutes to combine the flavors.
• Spoon meat over rice or noodles. Garnish with green onions and serve immediately.

Notes

• Teriyaki Sauce is generally sweet. However, feel free to cut back on the amount of sugar in the sauce. 1 tablespoon of each would suffice if you prefer a more savory than sweet flavor. 
• The nutritional information is based on serving this teriyaki turkey over white rice. Use brown rice or just less rice to reduce calories and carbs.
• Feel free to customize this recipe with your favorite vegetables.
• A note about SERVING SIZE: A serving is approximately 3/4 cup of rice and one cup of the meat/veggies.
• The serving sizes are approximate and will vary depending on a variety of factors, like how much you cook your veggies down and what size your cuts of vegetables are. As a meal, this recipe will make 4-6 servings.
