1. Can I use chicken instead of ground turkey for this recipe?

Yes, you can definitely swap the ground turkey with ground chicken. Both options will work well, but ground turkey tends to be leaner and has a milder flavor. Ground chicken will offer a slightly different taste but will still work beautifully with the teriyaki sauce and vegetables.

2. Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes, you can make this Teriyaki Ground Turkey, Broccoli, and Peas recipe ahead of time. It's great for meal prep! Simply store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When ready to eat, reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave. The flavors will continue to develop and taste even better the next day!

3. Is this recipe gluten-free?

To make this recipe gluten-free, simply swap out the regular teriyaki sauce for a gluten-free version. There are several great options available in stores or online, and they provide the same delicious flavor without any gluten.

Instructions

Chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets and set aside. If using frozen peas, thaw them under warm water.
Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned, about 6-8 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and stir for 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add the broccoli and peas to the pan.
Pour the teriyaki sauce over the turkey and veggies, stirring to coat everything evenly. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more teriyaki sauce or a pinch of salt. Serve the stir-fry on its own or over a bed of steamed rice for a complete meal.

Notes

Avoid overcooking the broccoli for the perfect tender-crisp texture.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
For a sweeter dish, you can add a little honey or brown sugar to the teriyaki sauce.
