These Teriyaki Turkey Rice Bowls are made with healthy ground turkey and veggies in a sweet teriyaki sauce served over white or brown rice.
We love quick and easy Asian inspired recipes, and have quite a few here on the site! Our favorites are included in our monthly dinner rotation, like Egg Fried Rice and Crockpot Orange Chicken and these delicious rice bowls.
Teriyaki turkey is one of my family’s favorites! The sweet and savory richness of the sauce really compliments the mild flavor of the ground turkey. Plus it’s loaded with veggies, which means my kids are eating them! You can pair this with steamed rice chow mein noodles, or wrapped in a tortilla or Lettuce Wrap.
Pin this recipe for later!Ground Turkey Teriyaki Rice Bowls
Ground turkey recipes are always a winner in our house, like Turkey, Kale and Rice Soup, Turkey Taco Stuffed Shells and Spicy Turkey Meatloaf. But these Teriyaki Turkey Rice Bowls always top the list of favorites.
This ground turkey is juicy and the teriyaki sauce is sweet and flavorful. Add in all the wonderful veggies and you’ve got a perfectly complete meal that makes great leftovers.
Why We Love This Recipe
- It’s a quick and easy, a healthy alternative to ground beef, and an easy substitution in tons of recipes like chili and spaghetti sauce.
- We include lots of veggies and dice them up small so it’s very kid friendly and a great way to get kids to actually enjoy eating their vegetables.
- You can easily customize this recipe to include your favorite veggies or add a different base like rice or noodles.
How to Make Teriyaki Turkey Rice Bowls
- Cook the ground turkey. After cooking the meat with some onions and garlic, grate few carrots and chop some broccoli very fine, and toss them in with the meat. This gave the illusion that there weren’t very many vegetables in there, but they couldn’t avoid what they couldn’t see! *Note – if you are serving this as a rice bowl, you’ll want to start cooking the rice before you start cooking the meat.
- Make the teriyaki sauce. The teriyaki sauce is made from scratch and is incredibly easy. Some readers have commented on the amount of sugar in the sauce, and you can see in the recipe notes that you can reduce to your liking. Teriyaki sauce is typically sweet on it’s own, but you can adjust the levels based on your needs. It will still taste great!
- Assemble the rice bowls. The teriyaki sauce is combined with the meat and veggies and simmered for a few minutes to let the flavors blend and get all happy. Then scoop it on top of white or brown rice, noodles, into lettuce cups or even flour tortillas for some Asian-Mexican fusion!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use ground beef instead of turkey?
Yes, you absolutely can! Ground turkey can be easily swapped for ground beef, pork or chicken. You will want to make sure to drain it really well since ground beef lets out a lot of liquid, but it will work just as well as the ground turkey.
Can I cut back the amount of sugar?
Yes. I wrote this recipe to have a sticky sweet teriyaki sauce, but some people have said they prefer it a little less sweet. Feel free to cut back as much as you like. As you are cooking the sauce, give it a quick taste – you can always add more sugar if you want it sweeter.
How to Serve
Sprinkle some sliced green onions and sesame seeds on top before serving. It’s a pretty garnish and adds a little flavor, too.
My kids love to eat their rice bowl with chopsticks. If you don’t have any, you can find them here, or try these adorable training chopsticks for kids.
Recipe Variations
Feel free to customize this recipe to fit your own personal tastes. Use leftover veggies and sauté or steam them before adding them to the turkey and sauce.
Some other veggie options:
- Bell peppers
- Snow peas
- Water chestnuts
- Bok choy
- Bean sprouts
- Zucchini
- Corn
- Cauliflower
- Water chestnuts
Storage Tips
How to Store Leftovers
- Refrigerating leftovers: This dish will keep for 3-4 days in the fridge if properly stored in an airtight container. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove.
- To freeze, allow to cool completely, then pour into a freezer bag or airtight container. Freeze for up to 6 months. Thaw in the fridge and reheat as described above. Freeze rice or noodles separately from the meat.
Recipe Tips
- Ground turkey recipes are the tastiest when the meat is seasoned properly.
- Add some heat to this dish with some Sriracha or red pepper flakes.
- Not fans of rice? Use noodles instead. You can even use spaghetti noodles to mimic a lo mein and toss in some cabbage to saute it with.
- Feel free to cut the amount of sugar in this recipe. It won’t affect the flavor too much but it will swing more towards the savory side.

- Divide cooked rice into bowls then top with the teriyaki turkey. Garnish with sliced 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 flavor.

I love this recipe. I make it regularly. Today I cooked 3 lbs of ground turkey. It was a bit more difficult to handle but came out great. I put some in the freezer for later. The family loved it. I always use a lot less sugar because we don’t like too much of a sweet taste. Thanks for this recipe. So far this is the only recipe I use for ground turkey.
You are so welcome Jan! Thanks for taking the time to share.
This was delicious! It will definitely be a part of our regular rotation now. I followed the recipe exactly for my husband and subbed the turkey for tofu for myself since I’m a vegetarian. The sauce is fantastic. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful recipe!
You are so welcome MarySue! Thank you for the awesome feedback.
We LOVE this recipe. Can you help if I wanted to do this in a crock pot?
I don’t recommend cooking it in a crockpot unless you cook the ground turkey first.
Wonderful recipe. We used riced cauliflower instead of the rice!
Thank you, Susan! Awesome feedback, thanks for stopping by.
Could I use korean barbeque sauce instead of teriyaki?
You can use any sauce you like.
If I don’t have red wine vinegar . What can I use instead? apple vinegar, rice wine vinegar?
Rice wine vinegar would be a good substitute.
This is yummy. I cut back both sugars by half and it was still pretty sweet and tastes good.
I had one question though, the nutrition guide is that just for the turkey mix or does that include the rice? Trying to track my food a little.
Yes it does include servings of white rice.
I am a hero when it’s Turkey teriyaki night 😊 Perfect recipe. Wouldn’t change a thing.
Thank you Jossely!
Easy, tasty recipe. Only pushback is the amount of sugar but I suspect less sugar would take away from the flavor so would be interested to hear how others supplemented the sugar.
Fantastic feedback Jamie! Thanks for stopping by.
I cut both the brown and white sugar in half…and it was it was still a hint of sweet…sweet and savory delicious!!! 😋
What would the calories in a serving size be approximately if I switched out white rice for brown?
I suggest using an app like My Fitness Pal for customized nutritional information.
Is the nutrition information supplied and estimate for the entire meal or a certain portion?

Loved it. Added diced home grown zucchini and shredded cabbage. Served with slices cucumbers and hard (soft-ish) boiled eggs, scallions and Cilantro would be nice.
This recipe will be on regular rotation in my house! Flavor is amazing! I added fresh mushrooms but only because I had to use them up.
That’s awesome Kelly! Thanks for stopping by.
This was sooo delicious! Other than using a gluten free “soy” sauce and adding a bit more of the veggies, I followed it as is. I had nothing left. My son went back for 3rds. Thank you. This is a keeper.
You are so welcome Tina! Love your feedback, thanks for stopping by.
Wow! Your recipe is incredible. This will definitely be added to our dinner rotation. Thank you for sharing this!
You are so welcome Laura! Thanks for stopping by to share your experience.

You are so welcome Kim! Thanks for stopping by to share.
Do the nutrition facts include rice, or just the turkey and sauce?
All of that information is included in the recipe card.
Delish. Simple receipe. Taste good! Thank you
You are so welcome Samantha, thanks for stopping by.
Can I use rive wine vinegar in place of red wine vinegar? I am excited to try this recipe. Thanks for posting.
Yes, that should work fine.
Can you use store bought Teriyaki Sauce instead of making from scratch? If so, how much of the store bought would you use. Thank you!
Yes you can use a store bought teriyaki. You can use as much or as little as you like.
I’m so glad I came across this recipe on Pinterest! I tripled the recipe to have more leftovers and it was delicious! I forgot to add the granulated sugar and it still came out great.
Nice! Awesome feedback Talea, thanks for stopping by.
I love this recipe I didn’t have broccoli so I added bell peppers. I made this 3 times already in 2 weeks. Very good health meal full of protein. Thanks this is my go to.
You are so welcome Troy! Thanks for stopping by.
Why wouldn’t you use rice vinegar instead of red wine vinegar. Also you do not need to cook the sauce separately you can just put it all together and then it will cook in the pan with the turkey. Just a suggestion.
Let me know when you’ve posted your recipe online so I can come check it out.
Loved the recipe. So much flavor, easy week night dinner, and healthy too! Big win!
Thank you Inge!
So easy and delish perfect for a weeknight dinner! Love that it’s healthy too! Was hit with the family tonight and
only change I made was chopped a little jarred organic sliced sushi ginger as I was out of ground ginger and reduced the garlic a little. Served over jasmine rice.
Teen approved! “Mom this def needs to go into the rotation!”
Thank you for the Mom win!
You are so welcome Heather! Mom for the WIN!
Loved this recipe! Easy and tasty. I was running low on soy sauce so I had to cut the teriakyi sauce in half and it was still delicious! Added some peanuts for a bit of crunch. I’ll be making this again.
Thank you Fosterbeach! Awesome feedback, thanks for stopping by.
Made it twice this week! Yummy!!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Marlo.
We love this recipe! It’s easy and delicious and makes great leftovers too. I usually use ground beef since that’s what we usually have on hand and I always add more carrots and broccoli because I like them. Thanks for the recipe!
You are so welcome Katie! Thanks for stopping by.
So good! We absolutely loved this recipe!
Thank you Ashleigh!
Can you use organic lean ground beef instead of turkey?
Sure, any ground meat will work.
This stir fry has such a delicious flavour and satisfies all of your taste buds. A favourite we enjoy again and again!
Awesome feedback Donna! Thanks for stopping by.
LOVE this recipe! The teriyaki sauce was amazing, although I didn’t have ginger. I also switched my veggies for zucchini and bell peppers! Did the rice in the instant pot, turkey in a cast iron and everything was just… excellent. Thank you for this!!
You are so welcome Michelle! Thanks for stopping by.
Made this a while ago and it turned out amazing. The younger people in my family aren’t a huge fan of ground turkey (we make tacos with it the majority of the time) but they loved this recipe. I will definitely make it again in the future!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by.
Fantastic dish! Family loved it and I even doubled it. I’d cut back on the sugar but only to 2 1/2 TBS of the sugars.
Awesome feedback Jul! Thanks for stopping by.
This recipe is a weekly staple in our house for me and my husband. I have even started to use the sauce recipe in chicken stir fry and it is perfection! Such a yummy, easy recipe that is nutritious and filling
Awesome feedback Annalise! Thanks for stopping by.
I made this last night and it was very good. The sweetness of the sugar doesn’t come out until you start cooking the sauce, so start with 1 tablespoon each of the white and brown sugar and taste as you go. Added eggplant and zucchini to give it more variety. Would keep this as a staple!
Awesome feedback JL! Thanks for stopping by.
Excellent recipe! Will add to my regular rotation. Blanched broccoli beforehand, halved sugar for sauce (as I looked at the reviews), added cabbage and put on top of brown rice. Will do on top of vermicelli noodles next time. Delicious 😋 recipe! Hubby super happy with it too! Thank you!
You are so welcome Erin! Awesome feedback, thanks for stopping by.
Delish, I replaced the ground turkey with chicken breast that I cut into strips. Definitely a new favorite, my family said it tasted like I went to a Chinese restaurant and got it lol. Thank you so much for this recipe, love it!
You are so welcome Alyssa! Thanks for stopping by.
This was a fan favorite! Love the sauce and will use for my next meals.
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Mackenzie.
So good! I wanted to make something different with my turkey meat and it was a major hit for my kiddos. I diced additional veggies and even my 2 year old couldn’t get enough!
Awesome feedback Jess! Thanks for stopping by.
I was surprised by how delicious these were! I had to supplement based on what I had on hand (I was out of brown sugar) and added a splash of chili oil for some heat. So good! They will definitely be in the weekly rotation.
Nice! Awesome feedback Carrie! Thanks for stopping by.
Absolutely delish! Used coconut aminos and coconut sugar in addition to arrowroot for the cornstarch. All healthier swaps and couldn’t have tasted better 🙂
Awesome feedback Kara! Thanks for stopping by.
This is a family favorite in my house. It is SO good!!! Everything about it is perfect and it is an easy recipe!
Thank you Danielle! Awesome comment, thanks for stopping by.
So yummy!
Thank you Olivia!
This recipe was delicious. I have never made homemade teriyaki sauce and it turned out perfect. I will be adding this to the dinner rotation for sure. Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome Laura! Thanks for stopping by.
Very tasty recipe. I used a mixture of vegetables and we had them with lettuce wraps to keep it low carb. The flavor is great and I think next time I will add alittle spice to it. It will be on rotation!
Thank you Linda! Love the feedback, thanks for stopping by.
This recipe is one of my family’s favorite FAST dinners. It’s on rotation in my house. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
You are so welcome Liane! Thanks for stopping by.
I have made this recipe now 4x and my whole family loves it. It’s a great, quick, weeknight dinner and I love the amount of veggies in it. I also add in shelled edamame.
Awesome feedback qui! Thanks for stopping by.
Looking forward to trying this! Do you think it’d easily adapt to making in crockpot? With two little kids I’m always trying to use my slow cooker 🙂
You can I suppose, but it only takes 20 minutes and you’d still have to cook the meat separately.
I don’t normally comment; but this is freaking amazing!!!!!!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Nicole.
So easy to make & the whole family loved it!!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Claudia.
Delicious! I used 1 tbsp of white sugar and 1 tbsp of brown sugar and it was perfect! Thank you for the recipe! I will definitely be making this again soon!
Thank you Allison! Awesome feedback, thanks for stopping by
Oh my dear sweet jeebus, this was FABULOUS. It honestly reminded me of the beef bowls I use to get when I lived in Japan. That teriyaki sauce is the perfect thickness and coats every grain of rice. And the flavor is next level. We added kimchi on top, and the acidity cut through the richness of the sauce perfectly. Thank you so much for posting this. It’s on permanent meal prep rotation for us now.
That’s awesome Elena! Fantastic feedback, thanks for stopping by to share.
This was the best teriyaki sauce recipe I have tried so far! It was so good! My daughter gave it a A+++++!
This recipe was SOOOO GOOD! The whole family loved it! Thank you.
You are so welcome Alba! Thanks for stopping by.
This was excellent!!! I only changed the broccoli to mushrooms. Amazing!!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Nichole.
This was DELICIOUS! My 8 year old adventurous eating daughter also really liked it! It wasn’t overly sweet or saucy either. Added extra broccoli and matchstick carrots right at the very end so they stayed crispy… and they were! So so good.
Fantastic feedback Summer! Thanks for stopping by.
Delicious and Simple reciepe I love it soo much
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Josh.
This is one fantastic meal! I substituted the broccoli with asparagus and it still tasty 😋😋
Thank you Terry! Love the feedback.
Thanks, tried more by design. Looking for a turkey and rice dish I decided to make this. I like Teriyaki sauce. One day I will get a chance to make, maybe.
Made this for the first time this evening. Not bad. I added chopped red bell pepper to the carrots and broccoli for more color and cut the sugars to 1T each. Tastes like something I would get from the frozen food section and microwave. Not sure I’ll make it again.
Thank you Terri for stopping by and for sharing your feedback.
This was SO GOOD. My best friend sent it to me and told me to make it immediately. She was right! Hubby asked me to double it next time so that we have more leftovers 😍 I ended up using thawed frozen veggies that we had in the freezer as opposed to the broccoli, but everything else was the same. Absolutely amazing recipe!
Nice! Thanks for the awesome feedback Jaci O.
Family favorite!!!! Everyone will eat it! Absolutely love this recipe! I add other veggies and the kids don’t really notice them.
Awesome Mary! Thanks for stopping by.
This was sooo yummy and will become a staple in our house for sure! We did one cup broccoli and one cup cut green beans for veggies. We also did 1.5 tbls of each sugar- perfect sweetness!!
Nice! Awesome feedback Emilie, thanks for stopping by.
Delicious!! I followed recipe except for subbing 1tbl rice vinegar + 1 tbl Mirin for red wine vinegar cuz its what I had. It came out so good & I ate so much. Thank you for this great recipe!!
You are so welcome Janice! Love the feedback, thanks for stopping by.
Delicious! I only used half the sugar. I added hot pepper flakes.
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Jeanie.
My husband has to be on low sodium diet. I would love to make this however it says this contains 994mg sodium. Is this with using the sodium soy sauce?
Yes, it is. Soy sauce is basically salt. Even though the bottle says “less sodium” or “low sodium” and about 40% less sodium than regular, it still has quite a bit.
This was delicious!!!!! I added a little less sugar as suggested in your notes. Thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome Deborah! Love the feedback, thanks for stopping by.
This has become a family staple and is requested regularly by my kids and husband.
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Krista.
Just started WW and thought this recipe sounded good and on the healthier side. I only made changes that I felt were beneficial for me, and I loved it. First time using ground turkey. I’ll definitely be making this again.
Such a delicious and easy meal!! Can you freeze this?
Yes you can freeze it. The meat should be fine, however the veggies may experience a slight change in texture upon thawing.
This has become a favorite in our house. It’s so flavorful and super easy to make.
My entire family loved this recipe, plus the little cousins, which included a 2, 4, and 5yr old! Saving this one to add into our rotation – I substituted snap peas for the broccoli and carrots.
We make this regularly and it’s so delicious. We try to avoid a lot of sugar, so I use 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of monk fruit. I also added chopped cauliflower because I had some on hand. This recipe is always a hit!
Awesome feedback Tracey! Thanks for stopping by.
This recipe is a winner and a keeper! Such a hit with my crew! Served over Chinese noodles.
That’s awesome Elaine! Thanks for stopping by.
Loved this recipe!
Thanks for stopping by Kari!
Made this last night for dinner and we loved it, will be making again, thanks
You are so welcome Diane! Thanks for stopping by.
Love this recipe! In my monthly rotation- I usually add chopped zucchini, shitake mushrooms and shallot in place of onion!. I like served in lettuce wraps or over modifies and my daughter and husband love with rice. You can really make it with whatever veggies you have etc.
Can I use ground chicken instead of ground turkey? Or would it change the flavor too much. I’m excited to try this. Thank you.
Ground turkey and chicken have similar flavors and could easily be swapped. Enjoy!
Made this at the recommendation of a friend – so yummy! Cut sugar in half and I think it’s perfect. Added some zucchini also just because I had it. Will definitely make again!
Fantastic feedback Debbie! Thanks for stopping by.
Loved this recipe! I only had apple cider vinegar available and it still turned out great! A little tangy, but delicious
Nice! Thanks for your feedback HJ.
Loved this! I added broccoli, shiitake mushrooms, zucchini and substituted the sugars for coconut sugar. It was delish!
Thank you Christina!
Can’t wait to try! Can I use rice vinegar instead of red wine?
Yes, of course. Enjoy!
It was amazing! I loved it! I added double the veggies. Thanks for an amazing recipe
You are so welcome Mandy! Thanks for stopping by to share.
If using store bought teriyaki sauce how much should be used?
You’ll add it at the end after all your veggies and the turkey, so you can use however much you like.
This has been in our dinner rotation for a couple years now so I had to leave a comment. It’s so easy, healthy and delicious! Will make for years to come.
Nice! Thanks for the awesome feedback Krista!
Great recipe, even my picky 3 y/o loved it. I used a frozen “riced” broccoli/cauliflower/carrot mix and it turned out great and no one could even tell there was veggies in it 😂
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Shar.
This was such an easy meal and more importantly my children ate it without one complaint. This was super yummy and definitely going to be my go to meal when I’m tired and short on time. Thanks!
You are so welcome Sharon! Thanks for stopping by.
This recipe is better than take out and healthier. Truly 5 Stars you won’t be disappointed. Yummy.
Awesome comment Debbie! Thanks for stopping by.
you think this would this freeze well?
It will – the veggies might get a little mushy when they defrost and you should freeze the rice separately but it will otherwise do well.
Great recipe! Delicious flavor and super easy. Thank you for sharing it and thanks to those that made comments. I used monk fruit instead of sugar, but that was the only change. A couple additions I made to the onions, garlic, carrots and broccoli was adding some green cabbage and water chestnuts like some recommended. Lastly, I had it on palmini rice for lower carbs.
You are so welcome Maggie! Thank you so much for stopping by.
This has been a family staple for years now! It’s quick, easy, and most importantly flavorful. When my daughters went off to college they asked that I send them the recipe so they could make it to impress their friends. I have found that I need to double the sauce recipe because I add a lot more veggies to it than the recipe calls for, and my girls like to spoon it on their rice.
Yum! Made this last night and I loved it! I added half the amount of brown and white sugar and it was perfectly balanced for my taste. I don’t like broccoli so added red peppers and water chestnuts instead. Otherwise kept the recipe exactly as is. It was delicious! I’ll make this again.
Nice! Awesome feedback Heather, thanks for stopping by.
Delicious! I am definitely going to add this into our meal rotation. Thank you!
Thank you Emily! and you are so welcome.
Great recipe! In my husbands words, “This is delicious.”
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Ana.
Absolutely delicious! I cut out the white sugar after reading the reviews. Husband and I ate ours over cauliflower rice. Kids thought it was great. Thank you!
You are so welcome Liz! Thanks for stopping by.
This was very good! Will definitely make it again!
Thank you CJ! Love the feedback.
Instant family favorite!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Pete.
Way too salty. No need for white sugar either. 2tbsp of brown sugar is more than enough! I think chicken might make it more flavourful. I’ll try it again!
Thank you for your feedback Katherine!
This recipe doesn’t miss. The first attempt I followed the recipe exactly, but used 3 T of brown sugar & no white sugar at all. It was delicious. Tonight I substituted with carrots, brussel sprouts and red pepper that I put through the food processor. At the end, I hit it with a bit of sriracha to balance the sweet. I love that we’re getting all that veg in this dish.
Awesome feedback Lisa! Thanks for stopping by.
Mmmmm this was so delicious! I followed the suggestion to use half the sugar and was glad I did as the sweetness was perfect with a total of 2 tbsp of sugars. I finely chopped some cauliflower as well and mixed it all into rice. Will be on my regular rotation. Thank you!
You are so welcome Kirsten! Love the feedback, thanks for stopping by.
Found the recipe somewhat tasteless. Don’t think I will make again
Is the nutrition facts including the calories of the rice?
As stated in the notes of the recipe, yes the nutritional information includes the turkey and sauce served over rice.
For the nutrition facts.. what’s the portion size for those facts?
From the recipe notes – A note about SERVING SIZE: A serving is approximately ¾ cup of rice and one cup of the meat/veggies.
This is one of my go-to recipes! I always seem to have the ingredients in the house, and I love knowing exactly what’s in my teriyaki sauce. Ever since I had to go gluten free, finding Asian foods I can eat safely has been hard, so this is an easy and delicious alternative! I sometimes add some Sriracha and/or red pepper flakes to add a hint of heat.
Awesome feedback Sharron! Thanks for stopping by to share.
I have a question about the nutritional values—is that including the rice?
Yes, it includes the rice.
SO good. Easy to do GF, nothing too complicated, and I almost always have everything on hand. Thanks for sharing this!
Delicious! I made it tonight with ground chicken. I also food processed the carrots and broccoli because my partner won’t eat them otherwise! Topped with Sriracha and green onions. Everyone loved it! I loved how easy and fresh it was!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by to share your feedback Heidi.
I always come back to this recipe! It’s one of my favorites. It freezes and reheats super well, so I try to make a big batch every time. I also usually double the veggies 🙂 Yum! I’m doing this in a butter lettuce wrap tonight which I’m excited about.
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Sarah.
Made tonight and me, husband, and baby (no sauce) LOVED!! I did 3 tbsp light brown sugar and added a little siracha to the sauce and it is excellent! Also topped with avocado! Definitely adding to the dinner ideas list!
Love the feedback Brittney! Thanks for stopping by.
Delish! Used 3 tbs of brown sugar and 1 tbs of granulated sugar. We loved it!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Rachael.
I love this recipe. It’ easy, versatile and always delicious. I never get tired of eating this.
Awesome feedback Susanne! Thanks for stopping by.
This was delicious and a hit with the whole family. Each of my kids (11,10,8) asked for seconds. We will be adding this to the rotation! Thank you!!
Your so welcome Casey! Thanks for stopping by.
I made this for my bf and I tonight & let me just say this is a very good recipe. At first I hadn’t added enough brown sugar, but I added more and it came out delicious. I meal prepped it in containers for lunch, thank you so much for this recipe 🙂
You are so welcome Esperanza! Thank you for stopping by to share.
I just found your site tonight when looking for ground turkey recipes, and I’m so glad I did! I didn’t have carrots so I used diced red and yellow bell peppers, then served it over brown rice for my husband and riced cauliflower for me. The only other change I made was to use only 2 tbsp of coconut sugar for the sweetener. It was perfect and definitely will make again!
Love your feedback Melissa! Thank you so much for stopping by.
Delicious! I added mushrooms, snap peas, and edamame and omitted the carrots. I used 3 tablespoons of brown sugar and no white sugar. Served over brown rice; it was amazing.
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Ogie.
Haven’t made this yet but I make rice bowls as meal prep for work. With Thanksgiving around the corner, I’m going to try this using chopped up leftover turkey. I would think if you sautéed the vegetables then toss with the turkey to warm them add the sauce it should work similar. Thanks for a great idea!
I think that would be great!
This was so easy to make a super delicious. My partner is a bit picky about what he eats and just loved it. I had some basmati brown rice that I cooked in a pressure cooker with chicken broth. The combination was perfect. This will now be a “go-to” in my recipe repertoire. Thanks so much.
You are so welcome Perry! Awesome feedback! Thanks for stopping by.
Oh my gosh, so good!!! The teriyaki sauce is addictive – I cut the sugar by half and it was delicious. I used thinly sliced brussel sprouts instead of broccoli and added wide lo mein noodles at the end. So good, thank you!
You are so welcome Lucy! Thanks for stopping by to share.
Can you say comfort food?? This dish was absolutely fantastic. The substitutions I made was using coconut aminos instead of soy sauce and of course I didn’t have broccoli so I used cauliflower and holy smokes! I’ve never doubled a recipe I’ve never made before but something told me to do it on this one. So glad I did!
Awesome feedback Jess! Thanks for taking the time to share.
This is a bomb recipe! So tasty 😋 A family favorite!
Thank you for your feedback Sharon!
This is definitely my go to, I double the recipe and family has as leftovers for a few days, it doesn’t last long! Thank you. Excellent instructions too!
You are so welcome Susan! Love the feedback, thanks for sharing.
This recipe was FANTASTIC! My 3 1/2 year old (that is super picky) LOVED it and so did my 17-month-old. I would love to feature this recipe on my parenting E-Newsletter! <3 Thanks! – Kelli @ohbabyihadnoidea
Great recipe. Super easy. Tasty. 5 Stars for the recipe but 2 stars for this webpage which is very cumbersome, really slowing down my computer. Thanks for the recipe.
Thank you for sharing your feedback Nora.
Followed the recipe except used San-J Teriyaki sauce to taste and it turned out great!
Love the feedback Bob! Thanks for stopping by.
Loved it! It was a huge hit with all 4 of my boys! I did add heat with red pepper flakes & a few dashes of hot sauce! I substituted a bag of broccoli slaw (contains cabbage, carrots & broccoli) & a bag of snow peas! So yummy!!! Thank you!
Very salty.
Too much sauce and too salty for my taste, however I like the ingredients – may need to adjust for next time!
Recipes are definitely subjective. You can use as much or as little soy sauce as you like, or even reduce the sauce a bit. I hope you give it another try with those alterations!
This is absolutely delicious. I followed the instructions exactly and then added a few tablespoons of crushed cashews for some crunch. This would be amazing as a lettuce wrap as well!. Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome Jill! Awesome feedback, thanks for stopping by.
So flip’n Delicious! This is a winner with my fam! Thank you for giving me another recipe to put in the weekly rotation!!!!
You are so welcome JulieA! Love the feedback, thanks for stopping by.
Made this last Night, Used zucchini, sriracha and wrapped in lettuce leaves. Delish! Thank you!
You are so welcome Linda! Thanks for stopping.
This recipe is simple and tasty! It also reheats good! I did add the red pepper flakes to the sauce for a little kick and it was perfect! Can’t wait to try other recipes from your site!
Love the feedback Kaitlin! Thank you so much for stopping by.
How much Teriyaki sauce already bought would be?
Hi Mayra, if you’re using bottled sauce, you can use as much or as little as you want. I’d say probably 1/4-1/2 cup would suffice.
We all loved this recipe…do you think I could use frozen broccoli?
Sure, just steam it first.
Delish! I substituted cauliflower instead of broccoli. Definitely will make again.
Nice! Love the feedback Kim! Thanks for stopping by.
This was a delicious and flavorful dish. Definitely keeping it in my meal rotation, and sharing the site with family and friends. Thank you.
You are so welcome Yvette! Thank you so much for stopping by and for sharing the love.
My IBS kiddo FLIPPED over this. I made turkey meatballs to give a bit more protein and roasted them in the oven (so I wouldn’t mess up stove – I’m lazy) with some different spices, made your sauce, and he ate it at dinner for 3 days running!
That’s awesome Pamela! Love your feedback! Thank you so much for stopping by.
One of the best ground Turkey recipes I’ve ever made, or ate. Thanks!!
You are so welcome Rhonda! Thanks for stopping by.
About how may cups would you say 2 grated carrots would be? I am looking forward to making this but want to buy the pre grated carrots cause I’m lazy, lol!
I would say add about 1/2 cup of the pre grated carrots. You can always add more – this is a very forgiving recipe.
Made this for the first time tonight and my husband and I loved it. Pretty easy to follow along. I will definitely be adding to our meal planning rotation. Thank you 🙂
You are so welcome Melissa! Love the feedback. Thanks for stopping by.
Hi there! I’m wondering if there is any substitutions you suggest for red wine vinegar? Thank you! Excited to try.
Hi, you could use rice wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
Made this tonight for my family! It was so delicious!! Added red pepper to the veggie mixture. My 18 month old had two helpings, toddler and husband approved!!
That’s awesome Shayna! Love the comment, thanks for stopping by.
I just made it for the first time, and I am definitely going to keep this recipe in my book!! I didn’t have ground ginger but did have fresh ginger (oddly enough lol) and it was delicious!
Love the feedback Megan! Thanks for stopping by.
This was very good. I’d like a little more spice/heat. What would you suggest adding?
Red chile flakes or some sriracha.
This is so delicious!!! Second time making it.
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Lynn.
This is delicious and so easy to make! The second time I made it I added a 1/2 cup finely diced red bell pepper for a bit more colour and about an extra 1/2 cup broccoli as I needed to use up what I had. So good! Thank you for sharing this recipe.
You are so welcome Darlene! Love the feedback, thanks for stopping by.
Very good we served it in lettuce cups, the flavour is fantastic.
Thanks for the idea
You are so welcome Debbie! Thanks for stopping by.
Fantastic recipe! My entire family loved it, including my six-year-old and picky three-year-old. We’ll be making this again. Thank you!
You are so welcome Maureen! Thanks for stopping by.
Delicious!!!! My husband and I both loved this meal
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Carla.
This was SO good, with a few additions. In the sauce, fresh grated ginger instead of powdered, and I added 1 T each of sesame oil and oyster sauce. In the stir fry itself, I used shredded cabbage and carrot (bagged coleslaw) instead of just the carrot. This turned out so good! Especially with scallions and sriracha on top. 🙂
Love the feedback Sarah! Thanks for stopping by.
Super easy to make when you don’t want to fire up the oven. I subed the broccoli for peas. Turkey is usually half the price of ground beef in my area, so I appreciate alternatives.
P.S. I enjoy this website, but the pop up ads are so out of control. Makes for a bad user experience
Hi, Thanks for your nice comments about the food. Glad you enjoyed it. As for the ads, I only have two pop ups allowed on my site, one is the video that really isn’t a pop up and just moves to the bottom of the screen when you pass it on the post (and there’s an “x” so you can close it). And there is a pop up for my email list that only shows the first time you visit the site. Any other pop ups I would check your internet provider, because I hate them too and wouldn’t allow them on my site. Ads are the way we recipe creators make a living – I do my best to make sure they aren’t too intrusive.
This was absolutely delicious! My 6 and 4 year old helped me make it and they kept on commenting “oh my gosh it smells so good!”
Everything was simple and straightforward, dinner was on the table in 25 min. I have been trying to incorporate more ground turkey into the routine and this was the best way to do it. This will be a repeat offender in our household for sure. Thank you so much!
You are so welcome Jenna! Absolutely love the feedback! Thanks for stopping by.
Would this be considered “healthy”?
I guess that depends on your definition of “healthy.” As written, and with the serving sizes used, it’s approximately 380 calories per serving.
My husband loved it! It was a hit!
Nice! Thanks for stopping Triciia.
I keep coming back to this teriyaki recipe over & over. I actually use it for many different things. So good!
Nice! Love the feedback Mikayla, thanks for stopping.
Excellent and easy recipe. My husband actually liked it and he never likes anything I make.
Thank you Nadine! Love the feedback, thanks for stopping by.
Made this for lunches this week and it is amazing. I made two changes. The first was to use Lakanto for the sweeteners because that’s what I had on hand. The second was to use a rice and cauliflower rice mixture to cut the carbs a bit. Delicious! Will be adding this to our rotation.
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Bethany.
Do you think this would work with ground turkey sausage?
Sausage will be greasier but you could give it a try.
Oh my, this was fantastic! I did not have the ingredients for the sauce so used a teriyaki that I had in the fridge and even then it was so good. I cannot wait to try it with the homemade teriyaki. Another thing that I absolutely loved was how quickly this can be made.
I am going to share this, and your website, with my daughter. Thank you!!
You are so welcome Susan! Thank for passing the love around. (love the feedback)
This was so good! I do think next time I will cut back on the sugar just a bit, but we all loved it! I’m always trying to find recipes with ground turkey that aren’t bland and this does not disappoint! I added water chestnuts and a red pepper. Served it with some mini wontons. Delicious dinner!
This was delicious! My husband and I loved it. I cut the carrots in 1/8 slices and cooked them with the onion. I left the broccoli chunky, tossing it in near the end just after I added the sauce. I did add some cumin to the ground turkey while it was cooking and also pinch of cayenne pepper. I’m definitely making this again and may try it with finely sliced chicken. I did not alter the sauce and found it excellent as is, not too sweet at all. Thanks!!
This was delicious! I added pickled peppers with Serrano peppers and garlic that I had canned, Sriracha sauce, jalapeños diced, and fresh tomatoes with everything else for the ground turkey, and I added fish sauce and honey to the sauce with fresh ginger! I used jasmine rice! The best thing about cooking is there is no rules to flavor! So yummy!
This was so good. It surprised me as a budget friendly recipe. I used shredded squash instead of broccoli and added some Asian staples I had on hand such as sweet chili sauce and toasted sesame oil. Thanks for the inspiration!
You are so welcome Megan! Thanks for stopping by. (Love the feedback)
This was awesome! I googled ground turkey with rice and this recipe popped up! Very tasty. I added green peas to it and less sugar and it was amazingly good! Thanks for sharing! This will definitely become a favorite in my house!
Thank you Tai! Love your feedback, thanks for stopping by.
Made this recipe and, despite the addition of Sriracha, I found it to be quite bland. I toned down the amount of sweet to half of what was suggested. I used an orange bell pepper and baby bellas along with the carrots. Maybe it needs to be served with/over something other than rice. Might try it again, not too sure.
Hi Deb, Anytime you cut down or alter the ingredients it’s going to change the taste. Sorry you didn’t like it – I guess everyone’s taste is different.
This was so amazing. The flavors were a perfect blend with the ginger and garlic. I had a pound of ground Turkey and usually make a meat loaf, googled this and it’s now my go to for ground turkey. Loved Loved Loved it.
Love the feedback Dawn! Thanks for stopping by.
First time I made it was too salty due to the fact I didn’t use low sodium soy sauce.
Tonight I did use low sodium and it was perfect. Hubby ate two servings!
Nice! Love the feedback Jeanne! Thanks for stopping by.
Delicious! Didn’t follow recipe exactly but it doesn’t matter. The star of the recipe is the teriyaki sauce. Yum! This could go with so many dishes. I added some cole slaw shredded cabbage mix and it was terrific. This will be on repeat
Nice! Love the feedback Anne! Thanks for stopping by.
Made this recipe for dinner tonight. It was a huge hit. The homemade teriyaki sauce was delicious.
Nice! Thanks for the awesome feedback Sheri.
I am making this for probably the 10th or 11th time today. This is the perfect meal prep for me, and everyone at work always says it smells so good. I love how easy it is to make, and it’s so filling! Great way to get my veggies in, and I always add a red bell pepper to it.
Awesome feedback Jessica! Thanks for stopping by.
Super recipe and a home run in our house! Added red pepper, mushrooms and zucchini and cut back a bit on the sugar. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome Norine! Love the feedback, thank for stopping by.
Eating as I leave a comment as well. Absolutely DELICIOUS. My hubby loved it too. Definitely will be making this again. The flavors are so so good!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Tiara.
All three of my picky eaters loved this recipe. There were no left overs to be had. Definitely a keeper.
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Agnes.
Thank you so much for this incredible recipe. It is so good, healthy and easy that I have made it numerous times. It’s definitely one of my go to’s! I add red pepper flakes for sure ☺️
You are so welcome Sandy! Thank you for the feedback.
Trying to use more ground turkey and less beef this was very good and easy to make my husband loved it will be making again and trying a few different veggies
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Debbie.
Eating this as I leave a comment. I normally don’t leave comments, but I have to say this is the best Teriyaki ground turkey recipe I’ve ever tried and I’ve tried lot! Followed the recipe exactly as written, adding a little less sugar and throwing in a red pepper that needed to be used. Not only is the finished recipe beautiful to look at but also beautiful to eat! I love that it feels healthy and that it’s so versatile, thanks for a great recipe!
You are so welcome Zandra! Thanks for stopping by.
This was a delicious recipe, tysm! I added various produce from my garden, including hot peppers and oh-so-good!
Awesome feedback Jamie! Thanks for stopping by.
Made this tonight and was not disappointed !! Added cauliflower and red pepper and a little Thai Red Curry as someone suggested and halved the sugar….. It was quick, easy and delicious, even my picky husband loved it 👍🏼
Love the feedback Lorraine! Thanks for stopping by.
Made recipes written except used green beans instead of broccoli. Delish! I might reduce sugar next time.
Thanks for your feedback Cindy!
This recipe is amazingly tasty and so easy to follow! The sauce is incredible and I want to use it on everything. I halved the sugar and added some cauliflower that I had on hand. Definitely adding this to our dinner rotation!
Nice! Thanks for the awesome feedback Molly.
Just made this. Great! Only tweak from me was tripling the garlic, but that’s cuz I’m a garlicoholic. Thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome DKinVegas! Thank you for the awesome feedback.
This is a regular go-to weeknight recipe for my family. I use any and all veggies in the fridge (zukes, cauliflower, peppers, mushrooms, etc.) and use bottled teriyaki sauce if I’m short on time. Always add extra fresh ginger as we’re big ginger fans. Easy, delicious, healthy recipe!
Love the feedback Mary! Thanks for stopping by.
I have made this recipe so many times and it is honestly my favorite ground turkey recipe! Thank you so much for sharing it! Also, I was wondering if you think maybe frozen vegetables would work if you don’t have any fresh veggies on hand? Thanks so much!!
Hi Lauren, I’m so glad you enjoy the recipe and yes you can use frozen vegetables. I would steam them first.
It was very good! I doubled the recipe and only used half the sugar. Probably will use even less sugar next time. Also added some Thai red curry paste to add some extra flavor
The family loved it 🙂
This is a wonderful recipe! I have switched to ground turkey in place of ground beef for most all of my cooking and this recipe proves that ground turkey can be flavorful and enjoyable in Asian cuisine. I love the incorporation of the veggies that enhance the flavor in the recipe also. I am definitely going to try some of the other ground turkey recipes on Yellow Bliss Road as well! Thank you so much!!!
Have made this many times. I have used turkey and chicken and other veggies, such as squashes and peppers. It is always excellent. I agree with the reviewer that says it takes longer than recipe says.
Love the feedback Maralee! Thank you so much for stopping by.
Hey Kristin. I can’t count the times I have made this easy delicious dish. My son does not like turkey so I make it with ground chicken. We all love this so much.
Thank you for posting. Love from Canada 🇨🇦
Love to hear it! Thanks Carol!
So so so delicious! My whole family eats it and that’s a win in my book! Making it for the 4th time and it’s a double recipe for leftovers, I hope!
I haven’t tried it yet because I’m trying to get to the recipe but all these things keep on popping up. I would be happy to leave a comment once I get to try it
Well, you did leave a comment so not sure what the problem is.
Made it to exactly as directed except I used fresh minced ginger and I skipped the broccoli. Turned out great! I will say that the prep took longer than stated but otherwise it was straightforward.
Love the feedback Chi Chi! Thanks for stopping by.
This one is a keeper! We’re a busy family, so I appreciate a quick and easy meal. I made this along with some coconut rice and it was a hit! Next time, I’m definately adding some more veggies!
Nice! Thank you Lauren for sharing your feedback.
AMAZING!
I make this recipe a lot. I’ve increased the vegetables & sometimes the ground meat to chicken or pork. My son likes it. I love it cause he eats all kinds of vegetables including mushrooms, Brussels sprouts & cabbage
Nice! Thank you for awesome feedback Michaela.
This turned out great. I made it with brown rice, fresh grated ginger, made only a 1/2 recipe of sauce and found that adequate, and as well added a larger quantity of vegetables. Great lunch in a Thermos for my youngest.
Love the feedback Donna! Thanks for stopping by.
Can I use amino seasoning to substitute soy sauce for the terriyaki sauce? I can’t have any soy sauce do to my condition. Even low sodium soy sauce.
hi Danielle, I’ve never used Aminos, but my understanding is that it should work as a substitute.
I just made this recipe and used Liquid Aminos – it turned out great! I also cut back the sugar and added an orange pepper. I may slightly cut back on the aminos next time, as it was a little strong but overall it was great! Thanks for the recipe Kristin!!
You are so welcome Shelley! Thanks for stopping by.
We made this for dinner and really enjoyed it.
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Alisha.
I have some low sodium teriyaki sauce in my fridge. How much of premade sauce would be about the same as the sauce in the recipe?
If you’re using a premade sauce, you can add as much or as little as you like.
This was so delicious and easy to prep. Great recipe to use up some veggies (I had carrots, cabbage and broccoli) and the only change I made was to use honey as my sweetener. This will go into the regular rotation.
Nice! Thanks for the awesome feedback Marnie.
Incredible looking please share
Just made this, and it’s amazing!!!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Natan.
Thanks
Does the 380 kcal include the cup of white rice?
Hi Emily, as stated in the notes in the recipe card, the nutrition info includes the rice. Keep in mind that this site uses AI to estimate the nutritional values.
Okay, thanks! I found the Teriyaki Turkey Yellow Bliss recipe as a meal in MyFitnessPal and it was showing that it was 570 calories with the rice, so I just wanted to double check!
You are so welcome Emily! Thanks for stopping by.
Say,, could I use honey or maple syrup instead of the white sugar or even the brown sugar? I would like to make this for supper tonight. Thank you.
Yes, you could make that substitution.
Thanks for your response. My husband & I really liked this recipe. Always like to hear “this is really good”
Made this last night and lemme tell ya, this might be my new favorite recipe! I added in some red and green bell peppers and some siracha on the back end b/c i love that stuff but you don’t even need it. Great, healthy recipe. So glad we have resources like this!!
Thank you so much Jon for stopping by and for dropping some awesome feedback.
Thank you so much for this recipe! We made it for dinner tonight and loved it. So flavorful. I’ve been looking for new ways to cook ground turkey. This is definitely on the make-again list. Just wanted to say thanks for the awesomeness.
You are so welcome McCall! Love the feedback and kind words. THANK YOU!
Made this for dinner tonight, was great. Added water chestnuts, 1/2 yellow pepper and red pepper flakes. Was a hit. Served over white rice. Will def make again. Thanks for recipe.
You are so welcome Shera! Love the feedback, thanks for stopping by.
Absolutely delicious! Very flavorful and easy for a weeknight meal. I cheated by using microwaved broccoli and pre-cooked stir fry noodles- but still so yum! Thanks for the recipe 🙂
You are so welcome Madeline! Awesome feedback, thanks for stopping by.
My family loved it! We served it as lettuce wraps instead of over rice and it was a hit!
Oh this would be great in lettuce wraps.
Newlywed here, for someone new to cooking and new to marriage – this is a hit in our household. I have made this recipe now about 5 times, it’s in our recipe rotation and both my husband and I LOVE it! Left overs are delicious too. Thank you for sharing!!!
You are so welcome Brynli! Love the feedback, thanks for stopping by.
This was so easy and delicious! Thank you!!
You are so welcome Leanne! Thanks for stopping by.
I have been looking for heart healthy recipes and this one is excellent! I substituted low sodium soy sauce, splenda brown sugar (skipped the white sugar) and served over brown rice. This was so easy and had amazing flavor! Thank you, thank you for posting a recipe that I could serve my husband and know he will remain well.
You are so welcome Mary! Thank you for stopping by to share some feedback.
Omg just made this and its incredibly delicious and soooo easy !! I didn’t have all ingredients 100 percent but most of it and wow I’m definitely making this again. Thank you!!
You are so welcome Sosoxo! Thanks for stopping by.
OMG!! Thank you SO much for this recipe! As a twelve year old, it was so easy and quick to make after school, and I still had time for homework! It’s flavourful but still a light dish! I cannot thank you enough!
You are so welcome Remington! “Love the feedback” Thank you for stopping by to share.
I was searching Pinterest for gluten-free dinner recipes so I can bring a meal to a GF friend. Is this gluten-free?
I am going to make it for my family as it looks fantastic but I want to assure it is GF for them.
Thank you.
Hi Lorna, I am not a nutritionist, so I don’t feel qualified to speak to whether or not this is safe for your friend. However, I do believe that if you use gluten free soy sauce it would be ok. But I would double check with your friend first.
So delicious and easy! What a great way to get my entire family to eat their veggies. Thank you for this wonderful recipe.
You are so welcome Katie! Love the feedback! Thanks for stopping by.
So good! Thank you!
Ingredient list says rice is divided: “4 cups cooked white or brown rice divided”.
However the only mention of rice in the instructions is;
“Spoon meat over rice or noodles.”
Am I missing something?
That’s because the recipe calls for already cooked rice. You can cook it on the stovetop or in a rice cooker. Noodles are also an option but the recipe is for “rice bowls.”
Can you sub premade teriyaki sauce for this recipe? Sounds delicious!
Sure, just use the amount you like.
I made this using frozen mirepox and broccoli since those bags had a lot of the vegetables already included. I also read ahead and mixed everything in the sauce ahead of time and pour everything in once the vegetables and turkey were cooked. This came out amazing and would def add more mushrooms and water chestnuts next time. Def added to the cookbook.
Nice! Fantastic feedback Bernie! Thanks for stopping by to share.
I randomly found this recipe when I needed to make dinner in a pinch. As my son said, every bite keeps getting better. It’s so delicious and easy to make, it has now become a staple in our house.
That’s fantastic Tara! Thanks for stopping by.
Found this recipe on Pinterest. So far I have made this dish 2x this week!! The fam absolutely loves it. Thank you for sharing!
I made this recipe and put all the ingredients into my fitness pal as I went just to get my calories exact and be able to put this in my phone. There is NO WAY this has 27 grams of protein, more like 10 grams!! major disappointment!!!!
I just tried logging it into my fitness pal myself and it showed as 24 grams of protein in a serving. So, while my nutritional calculator may vary slightly, it’s not off like you suggest. My guess would be that you entered the information incorrectly.
Oh my heavens, this was utterly delicious! Super easy to make and you can use whatever veggies you have on hand. I will definitely make this again. You should too!
Love the awesome feedback Angie! Thanks for stopping by.
I am completely obsessed with this recipe! I add a ton of broccoli, carrots, red bell peppers, and onion. I love how fast, easy, and tasty this recipe is! Thanks!
You are so welcome Bonnie!
Made it last night for dinner – used white wine vinegar because I didn’t have red. It was so delicious. Left out the green onions but still good.
Nice! Awesome feedback Mary! Thanks for stopping by.
Made as written and it is so delicious! Thank you for the amazing recipe!!
You are so welcome Michelle! Thanks for stopping by.
This is in our regular rotation now. I usually add way more veggies than the recipe calls for, today I did a shredded zucchini and yellow squash in addition to the carrots. Instead of ground ginger I used fresh ginger paste (about 2tsp) and it was great. I’ve also skipped the homemade sauce and used jarred teriyaki when really pressed for time and that’s another good method as well.
Nice! Love the feedback Kiersten. Thanks for stopping by.
I doubled the recipe for the sauce and followed it exactly, why is my sauce so bitter still?
Hi Julia, If you followed the recipe exactly it shouldn’t be bitter. The amount of vinegar in the recipe wouldn’t cause a bitter taste.
An absolute favorite!!!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Katie.
Absolutely delish and super easy to make!
I followed the recipe as stated and of course I added Redd Pepper Flakes for a little heat! Deffently going in the rotation. Thank you so much
You are so welcome Kimberly! Love the feedback.
Oh my goodness!!! I LOVE this recipe!! Here is the kicker though…I forgot the soy sauce and just added a little extra salt at the end and it was perfect! So for anyone who doesn’t want to use soy sauce just know that it does still taste good! I can’t believe I got my toddler to eat carrots and broccoli sooo easily! And I am very picky on which meals I make for my family so this was the perfect recipe! I doubled the recipe but didn’t double the brown sugar which I also replaced with coconut sugar. Great recipe! Thanks so much for helping me add another healthy meal to my family’s meal rotation!
You are so welcome Veronika! Love the feedback! Thanks for stopping by.
This is a family favorite! Easy, delicious and I can sneak in extra veggies by chopping them finely and the kids will eat it. I did try once with regular soy instead of reduced sodium and it was super salty but that’s my own fault! Just follow exactly and it is perfect every time.
Fabulous Feedback Laurie! Thank you so much for stopping by.
How thick is the teriyaki sauce supposed to be?? I’m making this for the first time and need to know I’m doing it correctly lol
Hi Brianna, It should coat the back of a spoon. But as long as you are happy with the texture you’ll be fine.
What a wonderful recipe. I was looking for something to do with some ground turkey, read the ingredients and comments of others who made it so I tried it with what I had on hand. I used chopped carrots, celery, shelled edamame, snap peas and added sriracha to the sauce for some zing! Superb
Awesome feedback Karen! Thanks for stopping by.
This recipe is fantastic and so cheap to make, I halved it and it was still more than enough for 2 people! If you’re looking g for something quick, easy, and decides this is the recipe
Fantastic feedback Elizabeth! Thank you so much for stopping by.
Is there anything else that I can substitute the brown sugar and sugar with?
You are welcome to leave it out. But a natural sweetener like honey or agave would work too.
I was looking for a last minute meal with our ground turkey and found this. My husband and I love it!! Will be making again. Thanks!
You are so welcome Laura! Thank you for the awesome feedback.
Our whole family needs to start eating healthier and this recipe absolutely fit the bill for day one. I followed it almost exactly and everyone ate it up! Even served on brown rice which is not anyone’s favorite. The only thing I changed was I used brown sugar swerve and some honey instead of the normal sugars. My 15 year old even told me this could be added to the rotation! Thank you!
You are so welcome Jeanette! Thank you for sharing your feedback.
This was so amazing!!! I made this for my family and they loved it. 100/10 recommend
Hi Natty, thank you so much for the awesome feedback and for stopping by.
K.
What can I use to replace the red wine vinegar?
Apple cider vinegar would work, even white vinegar would be fine since its a small amount.
I made this last week for my family, and it was delicious! I followed the recipe almost exactly – I did not add carrots or green onions, but lots of broccoli! Next time, the only change I will make is maybe reducing the sugar by a bit, but the teriyaki sauce did come out great.
3 out of my 4 kiddos loved it (which is truly amazing)! Thank you so much. This will definitely be in our rotation!
You are so welcome Laureen! Thanks for stopping by.
K.
This is a yummy recipe!!! I’ll be cooking it again!! I doubled the recipe and made a huge pan full. Im having leftovers for lunch today. 😊
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Esther.
K.
This is my go to recipe for an easy, healthy, and forgiving weeknight meal. I say forgiving because you can use, or add, any veggie that you have on hand. I like adding red bell pepper and sliced water chestnuts to the mix and garnish with chopped cilantro. I cut back on the sugar like others have suggested. Tonight I’m going to try it with diced chicken breast instead of the turkey since it’s what I have available. All this said, it is perfect as written and I’ve made it many times this way.
Fantastic feedback Lisa! Thank you so much for stopping by.
This recipe is sooo good! It’s on our weekly meal rotation! I add water chestnuts to mine when I make it for my family. Thank you for posting this!! 🙂
You are so welcome Bethany! Thanks for stopping by.
K.
My new favorite dinner! Even my husband who doesn’t like ground turkey really liked it. Changed it a little. Didn’t have low sodium soy sauce so doubled water. Halfed sugar, diced twice the amount of carrots and cooked them and onions before adding turkey seasoned with pepper, onion powder, garlic and cayenne pepper to frying pan. Absolutely delicious. Thank you!!!
You are so welcome Robin! Love the feedback.
K.
This is one of the best recipes I’ve had in a long time.
Thank you Lori!
This was so good, so simple and my entire family loved it! From the 20 month old to my husband.
Love the feedback Mary-Gene! Thanks for stopping by.
My family & I love this recipe. I can pack it so full of veggies that my adult child never knows that he’s eating kale. I reversed the amount of soya sauce & water & cut the sugar in half, double garlic & ginger because I’ve doubled the veggies. It’s a good clean out the crisper recipe. They love it every time & take it for lunch the next day. Thank you
Nice! You are so welcome Michaela! Fantastic feedback! Thanks for stopping by.
K.
Used a little less sugar but the carrots added some too. My whole family loved it over jasmine rice. I was so sick of my ground turkey recipes, glad to have a new one! thanks
You are so welcome Kerri! Thanks for stopping by.

Great recipe, easy and really delicious. I only put in 1 tablespoon of sugar and the sauce still tasted great. I served it with quinoa. Next time I’ll add some heat with chilli flakes or chilli powder and add salt and pepper to the turkey mixture as it cooks.
Awesome feedback Camille! Thanks for stopping by.
This was delicious and a great new use of ground turkey for us. I had corn, bok choy, and red bell peppers on hand and they paired well with the rest of the ingredients in the recipe. Will try it with broccoli and carrots next time. Thank you!
You are so welcome Makeda! Thank you for stopping by.
Literally a new staple in our house! This has to be one of my favorite recipes ever and I love that most of the things I need are already in my cupboard! Thank you!
You are so welcome Ashley! Thanks for stopping by.
I loved this recipe! I have been focused on eating healthy and have gotten so bored with ground turkey. This is a fresh take! I like that you can use any vegetables that sound good to you or that you have on hand. I added red bell pepper and zucchini to the recipe and they went nicely. I’d like to try water chestnuts as well.
Love your feedback Sara! Thank you for stopping by.
Super easy and super yummy! I didn’t have fresh veggies on hand so I thawed some frozen mixed veggies (broccoli, carrots and parsnips), chopped them up and threw them in. Delicious!
That does sound delicious! Thanks for stopping by Kathy.
This recipe was very easy to make and I really liked it. I cut the white sugar in half and it was just the right amount of sweet. I didn’t
have the vinegar on hand, so I didn’t use it and it was still delicious. I plan on making again with the red wine vinegar to see the difference. A great change of pace for my turkey meat.👍
Love the feedback Kathy! Thanks for stopping by.

Teriyaki Turkey Bowl was good. Would make the recipe again.
Thank you Tanya!
I’ve made this this dish twice now and it was a hit with the family both times! I love how adaptable this recipe is. We used orzo instead of rice and the texture and flavor combination is spot on. I did experiment and made some cauliflower rice to try it with….it wasn’t bad, but it definitely changed the flavor profile. This is a great easy weeknight dinner! If you like it as much as we do, there won’t be leftovers.
Fantastic feedback Paige!! Thank you so much for stopping by.
This was not complicated or hard, it just took a lot longer to make than advertised. Maybe all the chopping and the fact that I doubled the recipe. It was “delicious,” according to my vegetable-averse daughter. I used two thirds of the sugar. If you want to cut back on sugar even more, you would have to cut back on the vinegar because I started with just a bit of sugar but the vinegar was overpowering. Start with a quarter at a time and keep tasting. This is a keeper of a recipe in that I could make it all in advance before my guests arrived and just warm things up quickly once we were ready to have dinner. And it does pack a lot of veggies in and my daughter still gobbled it up. You could also add or swap out different vegetables depending on what you have on hand.
Absolutely love the feedback Leah! Thanks for stopping by.
Just made this tonight! I used sugar snap peas instead of broccoli. It was delicious! Definitely a keeper!
So delicious! A healthy meal my while family will eat. I’ve even subbed in shredded zucchini for the broccoli over the summer and it’s still been so good!
Love the feedback Alyson! Thanks for stopping by.
My family loved this recipe. Something different for a change. I’ll be keeping this recipe for sure. Thanks
You are so welcome Donna! Thanks for stopping by.
Absolutely delicious! The directions were perfect and so easy to follow!
Love that feedback Peggy! Thanks for dropping by.
I thought the proportions of veggies and the amount of spices were just right! I will be making this again for sure!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Kim.
This was so great. I loved it especially because it tasted very fresh and not salty like teriyaki can be. It was done a lot faster than I anticipated and such minimal ingredients. Adding this in the weeknight dinner rotation
Fantastic feedback Samantha! Thank you so much for stopping by.
Turned out great! Will be making this again I’m sure.
I didn’t have the red wine vinegar and used apple cider vinegar instead. Next time will try to get the red wine.
Looking forward to trying some of your other recipes.
Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome Darlene! Thanks for stopping by.
This recipe was delicious…better than I thought it would be. All three of my children LOVED it too. This will be added to our most popular dinner recipe rotations
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Erin.
This is my go to teriyaki for ground turkey recipe!! It’s awesome!! Whole family loves it!!
That’s awesome Joyce! Thanks for stopping by.
The dish turned out great!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Stacy.
This was delicious! I left out the onion, used rice wine vinegar, and added sesame oil! Very good recipe!
Love the feedback Crissy! Thanks for stopping by.
Made this tonight, and the entire family loved. I added some chopped cilantro, and chopped peanuts, omitted the white sugar.
Love the feedback Victoria! Thanks for stopping by.
Very tasty ! Everyone in the family liked it
Nice! Thanks for stopping by John.
Tried this tonight, and it was really delicious! I subbed Worcestershire sauce because I didn’t have any soy sauce, and used onion, carrots, and red pepper as my veggies. I cooked the carrots with the onion. I cut back a little bit on the sugar. Definitely will be making again!
So good!!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Kathi.
Corn starch substitire6as it’s not very healthy?
You can use flour instead.
Love, love it!
Thank you Rebecca!
Fantastic!! Ok… I did not have broccoli but I did have sautéed spinach that I never used from the night before. Anyway.. I chopped it in pieces and added when it was all cooked. Heated it through then added the teriyaki sauce. BTW I doubled the sauce as my ingredients were also quite a lot and I’m served it to teenagers for dinner. THEY LOVED IT!!!
Fantastic feedback Mary! Thanks for stopping by.
It will be my 4th time Making it Tomorrow – YUM!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Weblsinga.
What kind of noodle would you recommend to go with this meal?
You could serve it with any Asian style noodle, like rice noodles, or even spaghetti.
Can I use cooked Turkey
Do you mean cooked ground turkey or shredded turkey?
Excellent!! I threw in some mushrooms that I needed to use. This recipe will definitely be on repeat!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Buffey.
Delicious! It took me a while to get all the steps accomplished but we’ll worth it. It will be quicker next time!
Love the feedback CathiCraig! Thanks for stopping by.
I love this recipe. Great tasting, fast and satisfying!! I did double the sauce!!!!
Nice! Love the feedback Nancy! Thanks for stopping by.
Absolutely love this recipe. It’s easy, fast and DELIOUS!
Awesome feedback Nancy! Thanks for stopping by.
Hey there! When is says that the serving size is approx 380 calories, what would you say that serving size would actually be? Thanks!!
Very tasty! Added more vegetables and increased the sauce. My husband wanted to add a little spice to it so he added sweet chili sauce. It worked well! Thinking I might add Siracha next time!
That’s awesome Sue! Thanks for stopping by.
Easy and delicious! I added an extra carrot and a red pepper, and there was still plenty of sauce. We had it over brown rice.
I made this exactly to the recipe. It was terrific! I always tweak the recipes. This one doesn’t need a thing. Of course, you can add vegetables you like but the regular recipe is great.
Have you ever frozen the leftovers? I love this recipe but I’m cooking for 1 and looking for ways to store leftovers!
To freeze, allow to cool completely, then pour into a freezer bag or airtight container. Freeze for up to 6 months. Thaw in the fridge and reheat as described above. Freeze rice or noodles separately from the meat.
Could you use apple cider vinegar?
Sure. It might alter the taste slightly but would still be delicious.
Just made this recipe. We used a little less sugar and juice from half an orange. We also used Xanthian gum to thicken as we don’t use corn starch.
It’s great we will use again!
Absolute delicious! Found what I’m going to do regularly with ground turkey!
We loved this dish! The flavor reminded me of lettuce wraps. I think we will use it to make lettuce wraps next time! I reduced the sugar, used rice wine vinegar instead of red wine vinegar, and less than half a cup of soy sauce because I ran out but it was delicious. YUM. Thanks for the recipe.
You are so welcome Anna! Thanks for stopping by. (Love the feedback)
K.
This is delicious! I was afraid since I didn’t have any cornstarch and took a chance with chickpea flour. I also subbed all the sugar for organic cane and used white wine vinegar since I didn’t have any red. I also eyeballed the tamari sauce and just tasted it along the way. Worked beautifully and tasted divine!! Will be a go-to recipe from now on. ? Thank you!
You are so welcome Emily! Fantastic feedback, thanks for stopping by.
This was awesome and healthy and my husband loved it!
Awesome feedback Cat! Thanks for stopping by.
This turned out really salty tasting for me, and I even used reduced sodium soy sauce. Not sure what happened.
This was so tasty, we both liked it. Thanks!
You are so welcome Sherri! Thanks for stopping by.
This was delicious!! The whole family loved it, and my pickiest eater asked for seconds!
My only swap was arrowroot powder instead of cornstarch, It worked great!
Also, my name is Kristin and I have a son named Maxwell 😀
Thanks so much for the recipe!
Love it! So glad you enjoyed the recipe. 🙂
Very delicious ?, family loved it
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Donna.
So good!!!! I used lean beef & added red bell pepper. So tasty over jasmine rice!
Love the feedback Kasey! Thanks for stopping by.
Love this recipe! And so do my 6 and 8 year old!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Elizabeth.
Loved it!??????
Nice! Thank you for stopping by Tonia
Does the nutritional information include the rice or is it for the turkey only. Looks delicious, plan on making it tonight!
Yes, it does. I go over that in the post and in the notes. 🙂
Made this tonight for the first time. Followed other posts and doubled the sauce with all the ingredients except the sugar. Added shredded red cabbage (because I had some) and fresh ginger (again because I had some). This recipe is really good. Most ground turkey recipes end up so dry. Very good. Into the rotation!
Fantastic feedback Laurie! Thank you so much for stopping by.
Hello I just wanted to share that I substituted coco aminos for soy sauce and it came out great. I left out the white sugar,( I’m sure it would have been even more delicious but I’m watching my sugar intake.) I had a frozen bag of black rice with edamame and mango so I served it over that. Thank you for this recipe, I’m always looking for ways to use turkey or chicken and less red meat.
Sounds delicious! I actually just tried black rice for the first time and it was so good!
This was so much better then I thought it would be! Definitely a keeper! Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome Erin! Thanks for stopping by.
Thank you for this! Cooking this tonight a little something different!
You are so welcome Mike! Thanks for stopping by.
I love this recipe. We have cut beef out and making this for my family they fell in love and didn’t notice the difference and so easy to make! Thank you!
You are so welcome Marisol! Thanks for stopping by.
I made this for my family last night and it was amazing! Definitely a new family favorite. Thanks!
You are so welcome Amara! Thanks for stopping by.
Excellent! I wish I had made more of the teriyaki sauce, it is so good. We served this with rice and chutney. I used frozen Asian vegetables in place of the fresh broccoli.
Love the feedback Christina! Thanks for stopping by.
Very delicious!
Thank you Mary! Thanks for stopping by.
Outstanding. I usually hate Turkey but this recipe is a keeper. I will make it again and again
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Sous.
Made this today. Had no red wine vinegar, substituted white wine and balsamic vinegar. Ooops! It was a bit too much and made the ginger overpowering so I added about 1/3 cup of cream cheese and it came out DELICIOUS. Thanks for this great recipe. Next time I’ll be prepared for the orginal ingredients.
You are so welcome Cookin’ Grandma! Love the feedback! Thanks for stopping by.
I had all sorts of issues tonight trying to make this, but I persevered and it turned out great! I started up and realized I was out of cornstarch, I had no onions (what?), I couldn’t find an extra pot to do the sauce in anyway. Finally I said forget it and I used teriyaki sauce I had in the fridge. I did everything else as directed and we all loved it.
You may think the entire point of the recipe is making the teriyaki sauce, but for me, I needed to make dinner and it was accomplished thanks to this recipe so yay! Also I have never chopped broccoli very small, but I followed the directions to do so, and we all ate more broccoli because it was small and manageable and cooked just right and in the perfect combo. So thank you Kristen! It was a near fail, but pulled out a win.
You are so welcome Yay! Thanks for stopping by.
Kristin
Made this tonight, the family loved it!!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Sarah.
Added this one into our regular rotation. So good and filling! And good the next day as well!!
Nice! It’s an honor to be added to your regular rotation. Thank you so much for stopping by Randi.
do you use raw or cooked broccoli
raw.
Made this last evening for dinner. Wanted something light before the big Easter dinner today. OMG….delicious! A keeper and I will definitely make again.
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Linda.
Made it tonight for the first time and it was deicious. I was low on Soy Sauce so I haved the sauce recipe and it was still totally delicious. Seved over brown rice.
Nice! Thank you so much for stopping by Maria.
I swapped both sugars out for a tbsp of honey and it was delicious!!
Love the feedback Jasmine! Thanks for stopping by.
If I wanted to be even more lazy and just use the bottled teriyaki sauce, what is your recommendation for the amount?
Hi Suzanne – it’s totally not lazy! If you’re using a bottled teriyaki you can really add as much or as little as you want.
I don’t normally comment on recipes but this one was just too yummy not to. It tastes exactly like the Beijing beef from Panda Express, if not better! I did leave out steps #3 and #4 as I did not have cornstarch but I didn’t encounter any issues in doing so. I also really liked the fact that most of the ingredients are those which you can use time and time again as opposed to once and done. For a recipe that is so simple and relatively cheap, I look forward to making it again!
Fantastic feedback Kara! Thanks for stopping by.
This is a great recipe! The teriyaki sauce is so delicious! I’ve made the full recipe several times but tonight for dinner I had left over cabbage from St. Patrick’s day and left over rice and veggies from dinner last night. So I cooked a chicken breast, warmed up the cabbage and rice with veggies, and halved the teriyaki recipe for a lovely left over dinner. I’m so happy I found this while searching for ground Turkey recipes! If I could give it 10 stars, I would!
Thank you for the awesome comment Brandi! Thanks for dropping by.
Wow!! I don’t usually leave reviews but tbjs recipe was sooo good. I wasn’t expecting much but the sauce is great and it’s such a quick and easy week night meal. Thank you!!
This is my go to ground turkey recipe. I’ve made it so many times during Covid. I use whatever produce I have on hand and have never been disappointed. I added unsalted peanuts and water chestnuts for a texture. I use it for lettuce wraps. So good!!
Nice! Thanks for the awesome feedback Jimmy.
Absolutely superb! I was looking for a new recipe for ground turkey and came across yours. Delicious and my family loved it! Will definitely be making again and again. Thank you!
You are so welcome Sherree! Thank you for stopping by.
This recipe is a definite keeper! I’ve made it twice in 2 weeks and will certainly make it again soon. I must admit to being greedy and splitting the teriyaki between 3 with 1 serving of rice (2oz) as it was still low calorie enough. I then had a portion to freeze for a rainy day! I love recipes that sneak in lots of veggies for an unsuspecting husband! Thanks so much.
You are so welcome Jan! Awesome feedback!
This was absolutely delicious! The whole family enjoyed and asked for it to be added into the dinner rotation. Didn’t take long to make either. Definitely a winner.
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Adina.
Just made this tonight and it is SUPER TASTY! Total do over! Thank you!
You are so welcome Susan! Thank you for stopping by.
I have made this many times, as my kids often request it, and it always turns out great. I add edamame beans to it and it is a hit with the entire fam.
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Krista.
Super tasty and easy dish! I used liquid aminos instead of soy sauce, 3 tablespoons coconut sugar instead of regular sugar, and added extra proportions of all the veggies and it turned out great. Could easily adapt to be paleo-friendly. Yum!
Fantastic feedback Taylor! Thank you so much for stopping by.
This is absolutely delicious and so easy! Even my picky son cleaned his plate!
Nice! Thank you for the awesome feedback Heather.
Made it as stated, with the exception of omitting the white sugar and I didn’t have green onions to garnish. Quick delicious meal. My son and I had it with super green salad on the side dressed with oil and vinegar and in the same dish. My daughter had it with brown rice. Great recipe?
Love the feedback Veegee! Thanks for stopping by.
My husband and I gobbled it up! I only used brown sugar and did a total of 3 Tbsps as we don’t like our sauce too sweet… this qas just the right amount.
Our toddler refused to even try it, but that’s not a reflection of the recipe – she’s just picky to the extreme…
Nice! Thank you for your feedback Bree.
Fantastic!!!! Do NOT skip making the sauce homemade. So easy and delicious!! I added lots of extra veggies. Will make often!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Angie.
Fabulous recipe! I made substitutes too because I didn’t have broccoli or red wine vinegar. I used white wine vinegar and green bell peppers (diced). I also used less garlic in the turkey portion of the recipe (2tsp). I served it over rice noodles. My picky 3 year old even tried it!!
Awesome feedback Hannah! Thanks for stopping by.
Delicious! I like to make double the sauce recipe, because my family loves the teriyaki so much! It’s also a great way to incorporate vegetables.
Awesome feedback Heather! Thanks for stopping by.
I made this tonight and it was out of this world!! Instead of making the teriyaki sauce I used our gluten free teriyaki and just tweaked a little. So glad I found this recipe. Thank you!!
You are so welcome Ann! Thanks for stopping by.
Delicious, perfect quick meal to make in the week when you don’t have much time, very nutritional and filling and the family loved it, thanks for sharing
You are so welcome Baljinder! Awesome feedback! Thanks for stopping by.
Absolutely love this recipe!! Definitely adding to the regular rotation. I made a few seasoning changes to the meat but that was only personal preference. Sauce is awesome! Thanks so much for sharing!!
You are so welcome Malissa! Thank you for the awesome feedback.
Oops, i too forgot to give a 5 star review! I also forgot to mention the only thing i did different was doubled the sauce ingredients as my boys love saucy things lol
Nice! Thanks for swinging back around to share the love Marianne.
Sorry will have to post this again; I was so excited to leave a comment I forgot to click on the stars. Wow – this recipe is a must make for anyone wondering! Thank you!
Thank you so much Cynthia for circling back around! Awesome feedback! and of course you are so welcome.
Thank you so much for this recipe. I have made this twice within a week. First time to test it out for dinner which my boys really loved. 2nd time was today. But i made it to be portioned out into quick heat up lunches for the boys during the school week. One boy doesn’t care too much for rice so will make a few portions with ramen noodles. ☺️
You are so welcome Marianne! Thanks for stopping by.
Wow – this really turned out awesome! I was looking for another recipe, other than my usual turkey meatloaf or spaghetti with turkey meatballs, and decided to try your recipe – this is the one! I didn’t have broccoli so I couldn’t add that, and it was delicious anyway. The sauce is very flavorful. Easy, quick recipe with extraordinary results! Thank you!
You are so welcome Cynthia! Awesome feedback, thanks for stopping by.
Yum! Just yum!!! So glad I found this! Will definitely be looking at more of your recipes.
That’s awesome Sue! Thank you so much for stopping by.
Though my kids and husband loved the turkey version – I’m a vegetarian and this teriyaki sauce and treatment also pairs well with a can of navy beans (drained and patted dry) in place of the ground turkey. I doubled the sauce recipe and made both. Loved the vegan version with beans too.
Thanks!
You are so welcome AJ, Thanks for stopping by.
Made it tonight. It was delicious and simple to make. Definitely making this again. Thanks!
You are so welcome John! Thanks for stopping by.
my boys loved this recipe. I used frozen mixed veggies cause I was too lazy to go to the store but it was delicious
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Kim.
Even my toddler, the picky eater, loved this! So good. We didn’t use all the sauce, maybe only 2/3 of it. But supper yummy
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Tyler.
I made this for dinner! Only changes are that I added a swirl of sesame oil to finish, and I cooked the meat, first, took it off the heat, then cooked the veggies separately and then added the meat back in to heat through with the sauce. Turned out great! Thanks for the reminder to start the rice first btw, I always forget! 😉
You are so welcome! Awesome feedback Bee! Thanks for stopping by.
We love this! One of my husbands favorite dinners now. I use rice vinegar instead of red wine and usually end up just using whatever veggies I have on hand. Always delicious!
Awesome feedback Dana! Thanks for stopping by.
I made this last night and it was superb! Thank you for providing such a good, healthy, delicious recipe!
You are so welcome Tony! Thanks for stopping by.
This was pretty tasty! I used ground beef and doubled the sauce. It was family-approved!
Awesome feedback Tracy! Thanks for stopping by.
Easy to make and tasty! I added sriracha for heat and cut back on sugar. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
You are so welcome Corey! Thanks for stopping by.
We make this dish at least twice a month. I use fresh ginger instead of ground and rice vinegar instead of red wine vinegar in the sauce but that’s the only change I make. We all love it.
Love the feedback Brandy! Thanks for stopping by.
This recipe was pretty good but not amazing. I would give a 7/10. My husband said the same. I didn’t taste the sauce by itself so I’m judging the final dish prepared.
Hi Kelsey, Thank you for your feedback.
THANK YOU FOR THIS DELICIOUS RECIPE. MY FAMILY LOVES IT AND IT HAS BECOME A STAPLE.
That’s awesome Barbara! Thanks for stopping by.
Wow! That’s the best homemade Chinese food I’ve ever made!!!
That’s awesome Rach! Thank you for stopping by.
Made this tonight. Very good, esp. the sauce!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Douglas.
This is a delicious meal. I served it over jasmine rice (our favorite). I did cut back both sugars to half the amount listed and I was a little worried about the 2 tbsp. of red wine vinegar as that seemed like a lot. Well, it wasn’t a lot as it just blended in nicely with the other ingredients. My husband commented “This is really good.” I really don’t hear that too often. This is a delightful recipe.
Awesome feedback Joan! Thanks for stopping by.
Hi Kristin, this is a very tasty meal that we all enjoyed making and eating. I used a bag of broccoli, carrots and cauliflower we had. I used white rice since we had not had any for months and we had quinoa the night before. I will try quinoa or farro next time. Thanks
You are so welcome Steve! (Awesome feedback) thanks for stopping by.
What is an option for rice in the Ter. Bowls to cut down on the carbs?
Cauliflower rice would be a great option.
My family including very picky kids love this recipe!! I’m making it tonight going to try cutting the sugars in half ??
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Jenn.
I made the turkey teriyaki rice bowl for dinner tonight and I was concerned about the fact my husband is extremely picky. He had seconds!!
Nice!! Thanks for stopping by Chris.
Great recipe. Made as is. Love that you can swap out whatever you have on hand.
Great feedback Teena! Thank you so much for stopping by.
Wow! Pleasantly surprised with this recipe. So very tasty! I too cut both sugars in half and thought it was great. No complaints. Added some red pepper as I had one I needed to use. Gave it great taste and great pop of color. Thank you!
You are so welcome Kathryn! (Great Feedback) Thanks for stopping by.
This was very very very good I couldn’t ask for a better dinner to eat than this, for some reason it better than the real teriyaki at the Chinese places.??
Nice! Thank you so much for stopping by Asianae.
I made this tonight and it was a huge success! Thank you. My daughter couldn’t believe there were vegetables in it and my son, who likes “plain” things, said it was perfect because it wasn’t too saucy! It is getting put into rotation.
You are so welcome Carolyn! Thanks for stopping by.
I made this recipe tonight and it my family loved it! The only modifications I made was to add mushroom and served it over cauliflower “rice.” YUM this recipe is a keeper. 🙂
Nice! Thanks for the feedback MM.
Does the serving size include the rice? Or is this just for the ground turkey?
Hi Rebecca, A serving is is approximately 3/4 cup of rice and one cup of the meat/veggies mixture.
This recipe was super good! Only thing I would change is precooking my veggies before adding them into the stir fry, I like my veggies softer. Flavor wise though it was great, I will definitely be making again!
Awesome feedback Sophia! Thanks for stopping by.
This was a huge hit with my family! I highly recommend trying this recipe out.
I did half the recommended sugar amount and my family said it was perfect.
That’s awesome KLA! Thanks for stopping by.
Could you use honey instead of sugars?
Sure.
This recipe is super easy and yummy! I doubled the recipe and instead of carrots I added Zucchini and a yellow bell pepper plus some broccoli. I used one pound of ground chicken and one pound of ground Turkey. My husband and son had second helpings. This will be added to my list of yummy recipes.
Awesome feedback Dayna! Thank you so much for stopping by.
Made this and we loved it!!! We did cut down on the brown sugar and sugar. Thinking if there is a chicken version?
You could swap out ground chicken. Of you could make my Teriyaki Chicken Bowl.
Tried it and it was very good!
Nice! Thanks for stopping Ale.
I followed the recipe exactly and it was a complete success! The whole family loved it!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Holli.
Just cooked this on 1/11/21 it was the bomb.com. Trying not to eat that much pork and beef so ground turkey is my main meat. Needless to say it can get boring sometimes. This was a wonderful way to spice things up!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Shekinah.
Very good! I forgot to add the red wine vinegar to the sauce but it was still good. This one is a keeper!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Shawna.
My daughter, who does not eat broccoli, absolutely loves this dish, so you’re absolutely right about the ability to “hide” the veggies. It’s made it’s way into regular rotation in our house. I just said “I think tonight for dinner I’ll make…” to wish she immediately replied “turkey teriyaki rice bowls?” So yep, it’s dinner tonight. Thanks for a great recipe.
You are so welcome Joan! Thanks for stopping by.
My son and husband (who went for 3rds) gobbled this up! I used just the brown sugar and no granulated sugar. This will be a keeper!
Great feedback Michaela! Thanks for stopping by.
I’ve been wanting to try this for a while and finally got around to it, wish I had made it sooner! The sauce is amazing one of the best teriyaki sauces I’ve made thank you for sharing!! I usually don’t like brown rice but you can’t even taste it with the sauce it’s a win win.
You are so welcome Ashley! Thanks for stopping by.
Very tasty. I used a little less sugar and was the perfect sweetness. Will definitely make again!
Nice! thanks for stopping by Dani.
Excellent! And you can use up leftovers in this recipe! Used rice wine vinegar, 3 Tbsp brown sugar only, low sodium soy sauce, added some frozen stir-fry veggies and some leftover crushed pineapple in juice. Yummo!! Very forgiving recipe and you can make it to suit your family’s tastes
Great Feedback Corita! Thanks for stopping by.
This turkey bowl is absolutely delicious! Second time making it at home.
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Leticia.
So good
I don’t have red wine vinegar can I use apple cidar vinegar?
Yes you could use that.
If I use store bought Teriyaki sauce, how much would I use for the recipe?
Honestly you can use as much or as little as you like. Just cook the meat and saute the veggies, then mix in your desired amount of sauce.
Very easy and tasty. Didn’t have carrots on hand but flavor was still on point.
Loved it! I only did two tablespoons of the brown sugar and didn’t add the white and I added siracha at the end and added zucchini. Soooo good!
Great feedback Trisha! Thanks for stopping by.
I wanted a new recipe for ground turkey and found this one. It was easy to make and very good tasting! All ingredients were in my pantry. My husband and I had it over rice, our boys ate it with noodles. Everyone liked it.
Nice! Thank you so much for stopping Sharon.
What is the serving size?
Approximately 3/4-1 cup of the meat/vegetable mixture.
Made this for my family and it was LOVED by all. I did add a can of baby corn, drained, as well and it was perfect. Thank you!
You are so welcome Kayla, thanks for stopping by.
This was good, but I thought the sauce got really liquidity. I wish I doubled the sauce and saved some to add directly into the bowl at the end.
This was easy and delicious! I needed a new way to use up the ground turkey I had and this was perfect because I already had all the ingredients on hand. My family all loved it!
Thanks for the awesome feedback Becky!
It was very good! We enjoyed this recipe. It was a little salty, but I don’t know if I used low sodium soy sauce or not. (It was the last of the bottle and I threw it in the recycling bin right afterward). I’ll definitely use it next time or cut it down a little.
Awesome feedback Raymie! Thanks for stopping by.
Tried this recently and the whole family loved it – a rarity!
I’m also really impressed with all of the super helpful information you give in addition to the recipe, and with how nicely the recipe printed out. The layout is one of the best I’ve encountered! A well functioning website is a joy to use. I’ll be back! Thank you!
That’s awesome Kay! Thanks for stopping by.
This is a “once a week” meal at our house! everyone looooves it and i can sneak in vegetables to a crowd that’s not big on them… I actually doubled it the second time I made it, and then eventually tripled it so we’d have leftovers! Thank you Kristen…
You are so welcome Caroline! Thanks for stopping by.
This was so delicious! Hubby asked e to save and serve up again!!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Jojo.
yummy & so easy too make!!
Thank you Kristina!
Do you happen to know the macro nutrients without rice? ?
I love it! I used rice wine vinegar and Mirin because they were what I have on hand. Mirin is sweet so I didn’t add any sugar at all. It worked!! I added extra ginger (because I like ginger) into both the teriyaki and the turkey stir fry. This also worked 🙂 Thank you for the recipe. I am not a good cook and it still turned out yummy!
You are so welcome Khai! Awesome feedback, thanks for stopping by.
Hello! Loving this recipe! Third time making it ❤️ Are those nutritional facts based on one cup? If not, based on what serving size?
It’s based on 5 servings of the whole meal.
My whole family loved this recipe! It was so easy and the sauce was amazing. I added some more veg such as zucchini and purple cabbage and it was amazing. I did less brown sugar and added honey instead. Definitely will save this one for the future. Delicious!!
Awesome feedback Ashleigh! Thank you so much for stopping by.
Do you have to use red wine vinegar ?
You can use apple cider vinegar, or even white vinegar.
This recipe is definitely a keeper. I used Pomegranate red wine vinegar in place of the red wine vinegar and it was great. Will definitely be making again
Awesome feedback Donna! Thanks for stopping by.
I’ve been trying to find good uses for ground turkey! I feel it needs a lot of flavor added so this seems perfect with the teriyaki!
Really tasty and easy! I love that you can customize the veggies! I did onion, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, baby corn, water chestnuts and bean sprouts. I used Jasmine rice. It’s amazing!!! I think we will use the leftover meat mixture to do lettuce wraps tomorrow. Thanks so much!
You are so welcome Stacy! Awesome feedback. Thanks for stopping by.
This looks delicious – making it tonight. I have all of the ingredients besides ginger. Is ginger a must have? Any recommended replacements? Can’t wait to try this 🙂
Ginger is a great addition, but it should still taste great without it.
This recipe is so good and very easy to make. My whole family loves it! I serve it over jasmine rice for them but I use cauliflower rice for myself.
Thank you so much Lisa for stopping by and sharing your feedback.
This was so yummy. I used 1 less tablespoon of sugar & had my broccoli on the side with brown rice. Whole family loved it.
Awesome feedback Mrs. Green! Thanks for stopping by.
Yummmm
Love this recipe! I use riced broccoli and matchstick carrots to help cut down prep. This is a great way to get my husband and toddler to eat veggies! It is hard to make unless my husband is available to watch our toddler, though. Is there any way this could be adjusted to be made in the crockpot?
Awesome feedback Jessica! Thank you so much for stopping by.
SO good! I added edamame and snow peas and served it over ginger brown rice. Kids and hubby loved it! 🙂
Nice! Thanks for stopping Deniz.
Hi, so I’m super lazy (??♀️) and plan on just buying teriyaki sauce … how much should I use? It looks like about a cup? Thanks in advance! I’m making this this week. 🙂
If you’re using prepared sauce you can just add it to taste.
This was absolutely wonderful! Instead of rice, I used cauliflower rice. A++!!
Awesome feedback Sarah! Thanks for stopping by.
Great recipe! My husband and I loved it and we had left overs for lunch AND dinner the following day. Cut back some on the sugar which worked for our tastes. Also added some Sriracha to heat it up, as we love spicy food!
Awesome feedback Megan! Thanks for stopping by.
YUM!! Family LOVED it. Cooked it exactly as directed, except used up the rest of my coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. Also set out lettuce cups to make lettuce wraps. Great recipe
Thank you Libby! Awesome feedback!
This was fab!! Whole family really liked it. So tasty!! We found this comparable to a restaurant quality taste. Terrific!
After reading the reviews we omitted the sugars except for 1 tablespoon brown sugar And put In just 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar.
I had a feeling I should have double this recipe to have more leftovers, it was that good! Or 23-year-old who is home because of Covid is loving this recipe also!
Thank you!!
Nice! Thanks for the awesome feedback Sherri.
I really enjoyed this! I made it with a couple of adjustments. I didn’t have red wine vinegar so I used balsamic (2 tablespoons) and I added a tiny bit of siracha for heat. I also used Truvia instead of white sugar. Annnnd I steamed a bag of riced cauliflower. Thanks for the great recipe! Will definitely be in my rotation!
You are so welcome Cary! Awesome feedback.
My entire family loves this!!! I cut the sugars in half and it was so perfect! Total points came out to 3 for WW purple! My daughter even ate it and she eats literally 3 food items so that’s saying a lot!
Nice! Thank you for the awesome feedback Danielle.
My sauce is super salty – and I used reduced salt soy sauce. Any ideas on how to cut it?
Hi Lynzi, the soy sauce is the only thing that adds salt to the sauce, so I guess you could cut back on that. I don’t find it overly salty at all, but it is a personal preference.
If I wanted to make 2 lbs of turkey would I just double everything?
Yes just double the sauce and veggies.
Love this recipe! My kids did not even realize there were veggies in it! The whole family loved it even my husband who doesn’t usually like ground turkey!
I really enjoyed this recipe! I swapped the red wine vinegar for rice vinegar, added pineapple juice to the sauce, and cooked the turkey with only the white part of green onions. Then I served it with rice and sauteed pak choi. Can you tell me how much rice is in one of your servings? I’m counting calories so just wanted to make sure I get the portions right.
Glad you have found a way to make this recipe your own. For the rice, it’s counted as 3/4 of a cup of cooked rice.
This recipe is amazing. My 3 & 5yr old love it. I’ll definitely be making more of this dish often. This is a new spin on turkey, and not even tasting like it. Thank You for sharing.
You are so welcome Katie! Thanks for stopping by.
I think overall it was good. My family enjoyed it, but if I could change anything it would be the amount of the vinegar. It was a little overpowering.
Awesome feedback Kareen! Thanks for stopping by.
I am very happy I found this recipe. We love lo mien, but many recipes I found call for ALOT of ingredients, and time. This one was a HUGH hit in my house. My kids ate it up. I followed the teriyaki sauce except I only put 2 teaspoons brown sugar and 1 teaspoon granulated sugar. I poured this over cooked lo mien noodles and a bag of cooked frozen veggies. I pan fried some turkey breasts and cut up some into that mixture. Heated it all together a few minutes. So good! Thank you. Will be having this again and again!
Thanks for the awesome feedback Meg!
SUE CAVENECIA is right the sweet heat takes it over the top. Great recipe. I served it with risotto.
This has been a family favorite recipe that I stumbled upon during COVID. It’s so flavorful and quite easy once prep is done. Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome Cheryl! Thanks for stopping by.
Great recipe thanks!!
Needed just a little spice so added sweet chili sauce as a condiment. Great recipe!
Awesome feedback Sue! Thanks for stopping by.
Just cooked this. Didn’t have red vinegar, so used apple cider. Turned out very flavorful. Hubby loved it
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Virginia.
how much apple cider vinegar did you use in place of the red wine vinegar?
You would use the same amount.
Made this for dinner tonight and it turned out wonderful! My family loved it!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Marie.
delicious! suggestion for anyone complaining about the sugar, you could try a tablespoon or two of plum jam instead of white sugar, it’s quite yummy!
It’s under ‘healthy dinner’ when I search. But it’s got 4 tablespooons of sugar…
Which you can cut to make the dish healthier. It also is only 400 calories for the entire meal, with rice.
Is the nutrition information for the whole dish or per serving size?
Serving size, and served over white rice.
I made this for myself for dinner and I really like it.
The next time I make it I am going to cut down on the sugar.
Awesome feedback Olivia! Thanks for stopping by.
Made this dish on Sunday – my daughter and I enjoyed it very much!
Definitely going to cook it once a month
Delicious!
This sounds so delicious! Can’t wait to try it! Do you happen to know how much a serving size is?
About 3/4 cup. The serving size will depend on the amount of veggies and the size you cut them.
This is great recipe! Easy and delicious! I added a bit more sugar because I guess I like teriyaki sweet, but otherwise I followed recipe as is. Will definitely make again…thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome Heather! Thanks for the awesome feedback.
The sauce looked really weird right around when I added the cornstarch and water- thought I’d have to toss it and go buy a bottle – it came together GREAT after simmering in color, texture, and flavor. So don’t let it scare you if yours has the same look!
Great feedback Rachel! Thank you.
I tried this tonight and it was fantastic. I’m adding it to my recipes. Thank you.
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Kelly.
Recipe was easy to make! I served mine with carrots and green beans. I didn’t have low sodium soy sauce and I do believe it makes a difference – regular soy sauce over-powered the sweetness. Will definitely try again and use low sodium!
Awesome feedback Katie! Thanks for stopping by.
Made this tonight, used carrots, mushrooms, some shredded zucchini, and Napa cabbage, over cauliflower rice. Topped with wonton strips, family devoured it!
That’s awesome Sharon! Thanks for stopping by.
Delicious! I’m a college student, so I’m usually looking for quick and easy yet also healthy recipes and man did this check all of my boxes. This took me about 25 minutes to prepare and is one of the tastiest recipes I’ve tried out in months. I replaced the carrots with mushrooms and halved the ingredients (because I’m only cooking for one) and this lasted me 3 servings. This will for sure go on my list for weekly meals.
Thank you Sammy for the awesome feedback!
This was great! Whole family enjoyed. Didn’t have any broccoli so used mushrooms, red and yellow bell peppers, shredded carrots and chopped spinach. Used brown rice. Yum!
Awesome feedback Jenny! Thanks for stopping by.
Delicious
Thank you Marcia!
fast, easy and tasty! Plus, it doesn’t seem to matter which vegetables I add, it all gets eaten:-)
Awesome feedback Kath! Thanks for stopping by.
Great recipe!!
I would like to make this for dinner this evening and I don’t have any red wine vinegar. Is it okay to use either apple cider vinegar or some red wine? If it’s okay to use the wine would I use the same amount since it will burn off during cooking?
I think any vinegar is prob fine!
In this recipe, I would recommend rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar, but yes, you could use others as you have them available.
Wanted to make something with ground turkey……saw this Wow, the teriyaki sauce was RIGHT ON. Will never buy again. Even using low sodium, a little salty to me, but I don’t really like much salt. Still give this a 5…..happened to have all ingredients on hand. Thank you so much for your work to make this so good and effort to post.
Hi Linda, thank you for your kinds words. I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe so much!
This is a family favorite. I do add water chestnuts and baby corn…Always use fresh ginger. Thank you for a great recipe
You are so welcome Ann! Thanks for your feedback.
Can you use regular white vinegar or rice vinegar instead? I don’t have red wine vinegar
I would go with rice vinegar.
This is a super yummy and easy dinner.
Don’t skip the corn starch, or in my case forget it on your first attempt, it really does help the sauce to not be watered down.
Awesome feedback Becky! Thanks for stopping by.
My family LOVED this recipe! I found you when I googled ground turkey recipes as I had some ground turkey to use up. My daughter is one of the pickiest eaters and even she said “Mom, you have to make this again”. Thank you so much…. It’s hard to please my eclectic ,picky bunch but your recipe did it.
That’s awesome Deena! Thank you for the feedback.
A new family favorite. We are a big blended family so something that satisfies all 5 of our kids is nearly impossible, this one did. I make a double batch and found i will be tripling it next time. Thank you.
You are so welcome Barbara! Thanks for stopping by.
This dish is delicious and versatile. I added a bunch of chopped veggies and it was great! Thank you for sharing this recipe. This will be a regular go to recipe in my kitchen!
You are so welcome Bita! Awesome feedback! Thanks for stopping by.
My husband and I loved this. It was easy to make and very customizable. I only used brown sugar and thought it was perfect. I felt like it needed a little something so I may add some red pepper flakes to the sauce next time. We will definitely be making again.
Thank you so much for the awesome feedback Katie.
Kristin’s done it again! This is a family favorite. I use grass-fed, organic beef from my brother’s farm & my family loves veggies so I simply cut carrots & broccoli in small pieces. I’m allergic to corn starch so I use arrowroot power, a perfect substitute.
This recipe is easy & fun to make. The only problem is that there aren’t any left-overs for my lunch the next day so I make a double batch.
Thanks Kristin!
You are so welcome Suzan! Thank you for the awesome feedback. (that made my day)
My family loved this recipe- thank you so much for sharing!
You are so welcome Ana! Thanks for stopping by.
Very yummy, thank you for the recipe.
You are so welcome Cacia! Thanks for stopping by.
What is one serving size?
About 1/2-3/4 cup. It’s really a personal preference on how hungry you are.
Haven’t made this yet but plan on trying it this week. Does that 1/2 to 3/4 cup include the rice? I am watching my calorie intake.
No it does not.
Fixed for dinner tonight. A hit! Didn’t have broccoli so grated a zucchini. Sautéed small red pepper pieces with the onion. Finished with shredded cabbage after adding the sauce. Daughter said she’ll be happy to have this again! Even my meat & potatoes husband enjoyed it. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!
You are so welcome Karen! Thank you for the awesome feedback.
It needed something! I added black pepper. That wasn’t enough , so I added dried red peppers!
Yummy!
Yum! Thanks for the awesome feedback Linda.
This was amazing! Just made it tonight. It was perfect because I had leftover roasted broccoli from the previous night. I didn’t add the white sugar and for us, it was perfect. Thank you!
That’s awesome April! Thanks for stopping by.
Wonderful recipe! Thanks for posting!
You are so welcome David! Thanks for stopping by.
I made this recipe last night exactly as written (except I used fresh grated ginger instead) and it was delicious!! My family loved it. I was so happy to have a new ground turkey option! So flavorful and a great combination of ingredients. Next time I might add some zucchini in addition to the carrots and broccoli. I served this over rice but I think they would be great in lettuce wraps too. THANK YOU so much!
You are so welcome Tiffany! Awesome feedback, thanks for stopping by.
Delicious, Delicious – I have 5 packs of Organic ground turkey that I scored @ 50% off because the due date was the next day. Note that my husband doesn’t even like Turkey (in my 50% off Fog I totally gaped) So I had taken one pack out for dinner tonight fully intending to make turkey burgers. Fast forward, I don’t feel like burgers for dinner, I want something a little more international. So I googled and you came up. I didn’t have a whole lot of time, but as I am a home cook, I had every ingredient. It took me 30 mins and the brown rice suggestion was brilliant as I had lots of rice (the usual suspects, batsmati, jasmine, wild, black) but we hadn’t had brown in so long. We use a rice cooker so I used chicken stock in lieu of water and I added green onions and butter to the cooker while it cooked. It was amazing. I topped ours off with the fresh green onion as suggested and added sesame seeds and toasted cashews (because I had them). Did I mention that this was delicious??? Thank-you for the recipe. I am no going to search your recipes for more full flavour treasures
Oh my gosh I’m drooling over this recipe! Any ideas what I could use in place of red wine vinegar?
Ooops, guess I should read other reviews first! Looks like I can use rice vinegar 😉
I have this on my menu this week and was wondering if I could could use fresh ginger instead of ground? We love ginger and I have it on hand already. Thanks!
Sure! Just grate some fresh ginger in in place of the ground.
This is my new favorite! I added water chestnuts and sprinkled cashew on the end for more crunch. Thank you so much!!
You are so welcome Michelle! Thank you for your feedback.
Extra ordinarily easy to make, kids loved it with bok choy. Great recipe!
Nice! Thank you Josh for stopping by.
I can’t wait to try this one.
This was delicious and really easy to make! I served it over cauliflower rice to lower calories and carbs. I will be adding this to the rotation in our house!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Bianica.
So yummy and easy to make!
Thank you Sonia!
I made this with mushrooms, snap peas, onion, zucchini and carrots. It was delish! Thanks for a great new recipe. This one is company worthy.
Your so welcome Linda! Thank you for the feedback.
I’m 36 weeks pregnant and this recipe has been made every single week lol. Love it!
Hello Alyssa,
Thank you so much for dropping by to share your commit.
I made this tonight, it turned out so good. Thank you for sharing!
you are so welcome Yasmine! Thanks for stopping by.
I just made this for the first time and it was really good! The flavors all came together really well. It did take a little longer to make than I was expecting. I also didn’t have any red wine vinegar so I used rice wine vinegar, instead, and it tasted really good- I also only used one tablespoon of brown sugar for the whole recipe and it was the right amount of sweetness. I definitely think this is going to become one of my staple recipes!
Hi Alexis, thank you so much for stopping by and for the awesome feedback.
So freaking good! Due to out of stock items at grocery, I had to make the following tweaks to the veggies: used frozen bell peppers and onions along with garlic when cooking turkey. Then just added broccoli and carrots (no green onion available) and put the whole concoction over cauliflower rice. Heated up some frozen chicken wontons and dipped them in red pepper jelly for a little appetizer. Such great flavors all around!
I really liked the consistency of the ground turkey and I enjoyed the fact it was so nutritious.
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Laura.
I was looking for a recipe to use my ground turkey for (that wasn’t meatballs) and this was it! We halved the sugar and it came out SO tasty!! Definitely will be making again. Great for a weeknight meal, it’s simple and comes together fast.
Hi Erin, Thank you so much for the awesome feedback.
There’s no way this can be a 215 k cal meal when a cup of rice itself is close to 200
You’re right – thanks for correcting me. I neglected to include the rice in the ingredients list. With the rice and the teriyaki turkey and veggies divided into 5 portions it’s about 380 calories per serving.
Sooo good!! Followed recipe and it was a hit with the whole family!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Sharon.
Hi, I’m looking forward ti trying this recipe. Could you use honey instead of the sugar?
Yes you could sweeten with honey instead.
Could rice wine vinegar be substituted for the red wine? thanks!
Yes, it can.
Could rice vinegar be used instead of red wine vinegar?
Yes, it can.
Just made this tonight! It was delicious! The entire family devoured it and I also loved how easy it was to make! My 3 yr old and 1 yr old granddaughters, who are very picky eaters, enjoyed it too! Definitely a recipe to make again!
Nice! Thank you so much for your feedback Amy.
Would this recipe taste as good with ground beef instead of turkey?
It would work with ground beef. Turkey is a lot milder in flavor, and also leaner, so you will need to drain the grease if you use beef.
It’s my 3rd time using this recipe. My husband really likes it. I do use coconut aminos soy sauce replacement. So, it’s a little healthier. And I am sure I added larger amounts of veggies. I will continue using this recipe.
That’s awesome Vicky! Thanks for stopping by.
Why does it say to add garlic to the sauce then later to add to the meat? What’s best time to add it
There is garlic added to the meat and also to the sauce. It’s separated out in the ingredients list.
Dang– my mouth legit started watering looking at your pictures and this recipe! Looks beyond tasty. I never thought of making a teriyaki bowl with ground meat. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I can’t wait to try it!
You are so welcome Chelsea! Thanks for stopping by.
I made this for the first time tonight. It was so delicious and all my guys loved it!
That’s awesome Angela! Thanks for stopping by.
Thank you for sharing this recipe! Healthy and delicious. My family loved it! I had recently gone to Costco, and they were out of ground beef. Now I know what to do with ground turkey!!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Linda.
Oh. My. Goodness! I love this recipe. First, I have been frustrated with bottled teriyaki and its strange flavor. This is an amazing sauce, and the meal as a whole was a hit. Even though I doubled the broccoli amount, my son still scarfed it down without a single grumpy face or complaint (which is common when there is broccoli). I’d serve this to guests without question. Thanks!!
Nice! You are so welcome Natalie! Thanks for your awesome feedback.
I used a bag of broccolli slaw in addition to the carrots. Very good. I also used fresh ginger instead of ground.
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Judy.
Hi. Am I able to use frozen broccoli florets or should they be fresh? I was going to use canned round carrots as well.
You can use frozen broccoli, but I’d recommend at least thawing it first. For both just make sure that you drain off as much liquid as possible.
This was absolutely delicious! And so quick and easy to make. This will be a weekly recipe in my house. Thanks so much!
You are so welcome Sherstin C Harrison! Thanks for stopping by.
Nice recipe!!! I added sriracha because we like spice and water chestnuts for a crunchy element. Super quick and delicious!!! Thanks!!
Thank you so much Rosalie for the awesome feedback.
This was amazing! We did it over rice but looking forward to trying it on noodles next time. I’ve been counting calories and was wondering does 1/2 cup sound pretty accurate for a serving? Thank you again
Yes, it does.
I loved this and so did everyone in my family. Thank you so much for this yummy and simple recipe. I’m really not the best cook, so I appreciate when I find fool-proof yummy recipes 🙂
You are so welcome Olga! Thanks for stopping by.
After one bite my husband declared this meal delicious. Made it with red pepper, thinly sliced carrots, chopped broccoli and snap peas cut into small pieces and served over gluten-free ramen. It’s a keeper!
Perfectly Delicious!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Mandy.
Can you do this in a slow cooker?
This recipe wouldn’t translate well to a slow cooker. But it’s really simple and only takes 20-30 minutes! 🙂
I’m usually not a huge fan of the flavor of ground turkey but this dish is so good. Definitely adding it to my recipe book!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Larissa.
Delicious!!!
Thank you!
Loved it! I cut the carrots in tiny squares, I used frozen peas at the end. And used organic white sugar and honey to acquire the taste I wanted. You explain it very well! Thanks!
Thank you Diana! Thanks for stopping by.
Made this tonight – SO GOOD! I used a bag of peas and carrots with it and it was delicious. Thank you!
You are so welcome Melissa! Thanks for stopping by.
I made it tonight for my family and we all loved it. I replaced the broccoli with Lima beans and did not use corn starch cause I didn’t have it on hand. It was just delicious. Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome Melody! Thank you for sharing your feedback.
Delicious! I did use a little less sugar like some suggested with the sauce. It was easy and a great way to use ground turkey instead of the usual burgers or meatloaf. I will definitely make this again. I might even just make the sauce to put over leftover cooked chicken and vegetables.
Thank you Lorraine! Awesome feedback!
Will definitely make this again. I was looking for a way to use my pound of ground turkey I had on hand. It was delicious.
My boyfriend and I devoured this for our lunch today and we discovered a new addition to our work lunch recipe list!! Instead of making our own teriyaki sauce I already had a bottle of the kikkoman teriyaki sauce in the fridge so we used that instead. It was quick, simple, and delicious. Thank you for sharing
You are so welcome Macuil! Thanks for sharing your positive feedback.
Got a chance to make this for dinner tonight and it will be put on the regular dinner rotation from this point moving forward! I did alter it a bit (very easy to do I may add which is why I liked the recipe). For the broccoli I only used the broccoli stems, added a celery stock and only used 1 carrot. For the sauce I added a tablespoon of Korean chili sauce to give it a bit of slice to balance out the sweetness. It was a hit with the family!!
Nice! Thanks for sharing your feedback Tom.
Very solid weekday recipe. Used one tablespoon of each kinda of sugar and still felt plenty sweet to me. Didn’t have broccoli so we subbed in peas which worked great. This was plenty of food for the two of us with enough for a big lunch (over white rice).
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Ben.
This bowl was so yummy! Myself and husband really enjoyed it! We found it a bit salty so we were going to cut the amount of soy sauce next time. But this will forsure be a regular meal. Can’t wait to try this with noodles next time. Thanks for sharing
This was really delicious and easy to make and for once I had all of the ingredients on hand, which never happens.
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Karen.
I made the turkey teriyaki rice bowl last night and it was DELICIOUS! Tasted like something I would get in a restaurant. Will definitely make it again. Thanks!
You are so welcome Sara! Thanks for the positive feedback.
Hi. How much ground turkey do you use and what is a serving size? Thank you. ?
The recipe calls for a pound of turkey. The recipe makes approximately 5-6 serving which is about 4 ounces of turkey plus the veggies. All nutritional information is approximate and based on a division of the ingredients and serving size.
Made this tonight for my family and we all loved it. My husband doesn’t like broccoli so I replaced it with red and green pepper; other than that I followed the directions to a T. We served it over rice. I added almonds and sriracha sauce to the table for optional toppings.
That sounds delicious Angie! Thanks for sharing your positive feedback.
What is the serving size for the calories?
This recipe makes 5 servings. Serving size is based on 1/5 of the recipe and how much veggies you use. I am not a nutritionist but I try to provide approximate nutritional information
Can I use rice vinegar instead of the red wine vinegar for the sauce? And would it still be the same amount needed
Yes you can and yes it would be.
I made this tonight but my husband and I found it way too salty. Too much soya sauce. We were disappointed we were not able to finish the dish.
To each his own. Did you used Low Sodium soy sauce or regular? I have found that it can make an incredible difference.
This was delicious! The sauce was perfect and I love the hint of ginger! Great, easy and tasteful meal for the family…Thank you!
You are so welcome Susie! Thanks for stopping by.
Can the teriyaki sauce be frozen for future use in this recipe? (If yes, as a time-saver, I might double the quantity at the time of preparation.)
Yes you could freeze the sauce on it’s own.
I just made this and it was so good. I used the lawrys premade teriyaki sauce rather than making my own but nevertheless this recipe was so awesome. I’ll definitely be makimg this again.
Nice! Thank you so much Simone, for stopping by and sharing your positive feedback.
My family of five loved this recipe, and we have some picky eaters! I’ve found ground turkey so bland but with this recipe it was delish! Thanks!!! Will add it to my regular rotation.
Who doesn’t like to make picky eaters Happy!? That’s so awesome Dana!
Thank you so much for stopping by.
I want to try (tonight) but don’t have red wine vinegar and want to avoid bottle teriyaki if I can. Can I use other vinegar like seasoned rice vinegar, white rice vinegar or white vinegar?
Yes you can use rice vinegar.
I am looking forward to trying this! Has anyone used bottled teriaki sauce? I have 2 bottles so want to use them!
Yes you can use bottled sauce. Just cook the turkey and veggies and add the sauce to that.
Delicious! I will make it again.
I made this exactly as instructed, save for the broccoli as my husband doesn’t like it (I just added my own steamed broccoli on top of my rice before I spooned the turkey mixture on, still delicious!)
I saw in the comments that even picky eaters were enjoying this recipe, so I had to give it a try. So glad I did, as the hubby said it was great and would eat it again.
Going on my rotation now, thank you so much!
You are so welcome Alison! Thanks for sharing your positive feedback.
Will a red onion work just as well as a yellow onion? Thanks!
Never mind, did it with the red onion and it was delicious! Love the recipe.
Yes, the flavor variation in different types of large onions is slight. Red onions tends to be a little spicier while white and yellow are a little sweeter.
Made tonight for my family. It was really nice. All my family loved it. Just changed the broccoli for green beans chopped up and instead of the granulated sugar I substituted for honey. Really tasty and probably now my favourite thing to do with turky mince. Thank you!
That’s awesome chantelle! Thanks for taking the time to leave such positive feedback.
What is the serving size of the turkey mixture?
1/5 of the total mixture. Nutritional information is approximate depending on ingredients used.
Used regular soy sauce bc that’s all I had on hand and tooo salty initially. Added some water and it tasted great
Definitely use a low sodium soy sauce – it’s all I ever buy!
I started out with making this as a bowl, but then after tasting it, decided it made an amazing filling for lettuce wraps!! So fantastic!
This is one of our favorites! I’m not a great cook, but this turns out every time! Yes, we love it with red, green, and yellow peppers too. Also used 1 tbls each of the sugars instead of two.
Nice! Thanks for the positive feedback Caryl,
This turned out really good!! Thank you for your suggestions on what other vegetables can go in the bowl – this made it so versatile. I put bok choy in mine – something I never could have thought of. Turned out great and healthy too. Thanks!!
Your welcome Lin. Thanks for stopping by.
Great recipe, my husband is a picky eater and ate 2 bowls. Thank you, thank you. I used tamari sauce instead of soy sauce… is this okay?
If it tasted good, it’s perfect! 🙂
Cut the soy sauce in half and added a bit more water. The sauce was still plenty flavorful No need to drown the other delicious flavors! Really good!
Delicious recipe!
Thank you Lisa!
This was amazing! Very flavorful. I halved the sugars and used a sugar substitute for the granulated sugar. Definitely will make the again. I served with lettuce leaves and with riced cauliflower.
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Debbie.
This was delicious!!!! It was super easy to make and my whole family loved it… I will definitely be making it again… Thank you so much – I was searching for something different to make with my ground turkey, and feel fortunate that I stumbled on this keeper..
You are so welcome Wendy! Thanks for stopping by.
This was a fantastic recipe! Served it over rice and added some red and green bell peppers in the for extra color and crunch. This will be one of our go to meals with ground turkey. Thanks for this amazing recipe!!
You are so welcome Brittany! Great idea about adding the red and green bell peppers, thanks for stopping by.
Came out perfect used less sugar and brown rice
My whole family loved this meal!
That’s awesome Laura! Thank you so much for stopping by.
Awesome recipe ! How much turkey does the nutrition facts account for per serving ? I see it says one cup of rice but I don’t see any measurements for the amount of turkey. Thanks !
We have had this 3 times in the last month. My 6 year old loves it!
That’s awesome Marilyn! Thanks for stopping by.
I’m so glad I found this wonderful recipe! It was OUTSTANDING! I came across it while looking for something to do with ground turkey besides chili for a change. It completely blew me away when I tasted it – it tastes just like the restaurant lettuce wraps I love, down to the letter! I made it as directed, just skipped the white sugar and added some water chestnuts for crunch and served it over jasmine rice with scallions like you. My husband and I gobbled it up and there are still plenty of leftovers! This is going to be my new go-to appetizer with Boston bibb lettuce the next time we have friends over for drinks! It definitely feeds a crowd and.the delicious flavor combination is worth the prep!
That’s so awesome Jill! Thank you for stopping by all the way from Southern NH!
This was delicious! The only change made was using about 2 tsp fresh grated ginger instead of ground ginger and served over pad Thai noodles. We will definitely be making this again!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Lynn.
The flavours were great and it was super easy to make – I had all of the ingredients in the house so that was also really nice. I used only 1 carrot and added 1 red bell pepper.
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Elenna.
Wonderful recipe, thank you!
You are so welcome Marisa! Thanks for stopping by.
Excellent! Actually gives ground turkey some flavor!
I was searching for something new to make with a pack of frozen ground turkey when I came upon your recipe. Hub and son loved it — we had it over linguini. A keeper!
Nice! Glad you and your family loved it. Thanks for stopping by Pam.
Really enjoyed making this. Was a hit with my family especially my picky vegetable eater. Added a twist, For Veggies:
Broccoli Rapini
Shredded Carrots
Green Chiles
Peas from Pea Pod
Garlic
Onions
Added Sesame Tahini
added sautéed eggs
Thank you! Great Recipe!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Suzanne.
I just recently started trying to cool “healthier” and found this recipe after searching through numerous ground turkey recipes. I made it and LOVED it! I have made it as my main meal for the last three weeks!! It has the protein and carbs for my workouts and tastes delicious! I cut the sugars to one teaspoon each and have added edamame and water chestnuts to it and it really good! Thanks a lot! I appreciate you!
Glad you loved it Kiersten! Thanks for stopping by.
I cut down the amount of sugar by 1 tbsp. I added a lot more ginger & added some black pepper & added more carrots & broccoli. It was sooooo good. Husband said, “ It’s a keeper”.
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Diana.
This is one of our favorite dishes. Turns out delicious every time. It stores well and tastes just as good heated up.
This was simple and delicious.
Thank you so much for stopping by Nicole.
Hi, I know this recipe says 5 servings. Do you know what size servings? I am trying to figure Weight Watcher points.Thank you.
The recipe yields approximately 2 1/2 cups, so a serving would be around 1/2 cup.
My first time making this dish and both me and my husband LOVED IT! this is now our favorite dish thank you for sharing the recipe with us! Only thing I did differently was instead of the 4 tablespoons of sugar I just added 2 tablespoons of brown sugar And it turned out just right!
You are so welcome Lily! Thanks for stopping by.
This was fantastic! Easy to whip together after a long day! I even forgot to add the ginger and vinegar 🙂
Hi Marie, thank you so much for stopping by and sharing your feedback.
This has become a staple in our rotation, because I usually have all the ingredients on hand, and the whole family likes it!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Jennifer.
Thia was delicious. I used bottled sauce because I’m pressed for time.
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Gemma.
Have not tried this yet but it looks very good! Could a person just use teriyaki sauce instead of making it?
Yes you could use bottled teriyaki sauce instead.
How much would you suggest to add instead of making it? I just bought a jar of teriyaki sauce for another recipe and would like to use it.
Probably about a cup of sauce, but really you could do as much or as little as you want. Start with a small amount and increase based on your taste.
Just made this, using Costco’s frozen stir fry vegetables, whole family loved it! This will be a go- to recipe because it is so easy, and the ingredients are simple and likely to have on hand.
That’s awesome Elysia! Thanks for stopping by.
Just made this for lunch today. We really liked it and it will be in the rotation now. I halved both sugars as you and others suggested, used frozen broccoli, and diced up a red bell pepper. So good! Thanks!
Came out amazing couldn’t believe I just made teriyaki sauce . I’m learning but it taste amazing
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Jennifer.
Hi can we use frozen veggies?
Sure! You can omit the cooking time for the veggies and juse make the sauce.
Just tried it! Very easy, I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!! New favorite recipe!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Robbie.
Can you use frozen broccoli?
Yes, but thaw it first and try to strain out as much water as possible. Otherwise it can cause the sauce to become watery.
Favorite family meal!
Nice! so glad you and your family loved it. Thanks for stopping by.
I love this recipe. I have been making it for months now and can’t get sick of it! I also tried it with different meats but so far turkey tasted the best. Thank you for sharing it with me!
You are so welcome Katarina, thank you so much for stopping by and taking the time to leave some positive feedback.
Super easy, tasty, and delicious! I am personally not a huge fan of teriyaki sauce, so I did as recommended and used 1T of each white and brown sugar. Come to find out I ended up adding the other 1T of each sugars. ? The recipe is really good as is. I did use fresh ginger as that’s what I had on hand, and added some white pepper to the ground turkey. But that was it. Hubby loved it too, (he doesnt like veggies) he ate seconds and some for lunch the next day. ?? thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome Melissa, thank you so much for taking the time to share your positive feedback and experience.
I loved this recipe. It was very easy to follow and it tasted delicious! Whenever I try new recipes I always make another meal just in case they don’t like it. And if they do, no cooking the next day. This meal went so fast in my home that they want it again tomorrow! Thanks so much. Can’t wait to try another one.
You are so welcome Justice, thank you so much for taking the time to leave some positive feedback. (what a great idea, 2 meals just in case.)
My two year old usually hate stuff like this and lovveeed it! We did quinoa instead as we had no rice and used peppers and zucchini. Will definitely be making again! Thanks for the great recipe! Might try with noodles next time 🙂
That’s awesome Karlee! Thanks for stopping by and leaving your positive feedback.
Im making this tonight. But i dont have all the ingredients. But i have teriyaki noodles so im gunna make that amd add ground turkey. Super excited but next time ill be using your ingredients. Thank you for this.
You are so welcome Lilly! Thanks for stopping by.
I made this last night for my husband and 2 year old and they liked it. I used store-bought teriyaki sauce and used 1 cup, which was WAY too much – too salty (but we do like salt, haha). I’ll definitely make it again, but next time use 1/2 cup of store-bought sauce. It’s a great recipe – very simple, since I used the store-bought sauce and the food processor to chop the broccoli and carrots. Thank you for the recipe!
So happy that you and your family loved this recipe Rebecca! Thanks for stopping by and leaving your feedback.
Used a pre-made sauce but we really enjoyed this meal. It was so simple and we will put it in our rotation.
Thank you Michelle for stopping by!
Add a teaspoon (or more if you like) of Sriracha to the sauce and was just enough spice/heat to this meal really kick. 🙂
Also used ground pork instead of turkey. Thanks for the recipe.
You’re so welcome Jay! thank you so much for stopping by!
Absolutely delicious! For me, everything was balanced and I didn’t deviate from the posted recipe. Cannot wait to make this again!
That’s awesome Christopher! So glad you enjoyed it!
Delicious! I didn’t have cornstarch or another starch powder so I just omitted the water and cornstarch. Not as thick as normal teriyaki but the flavor was solid! I’ll have to double the recipe next time as I almost didn’t get a bowl! Great for hungry kids and a hungry husband!
Nice! So happy that you and your family loved this recipe!
LOVED this … Perfect combination of flavours. Made a double batch of meat and veggies but only had enough soy sauce for one sauce batch and it was perfect. I also used coconut sugar instead of white and went with a helping T instead of 2T (brown sugar as directed). Used arrowroot powder in lieu of corn starch and that was also fine. Added chopped celery too. Just yummy – already looking forward to leftovers for lunch!!!! Will make this again!
I love that you were able to make it work for you Bailey! Thanks for stopping by.
Absolutely delicious! Making this for the third time
tonight!
Nice! Thank you so much for stopping by Shelli!
This is perfection! I’ve made it twice now, both times with picky eaters involved, and they asked for SECONDS! I never have enough for leftovers because it gets DEVOURED. We’re not a beef eating family AT ALL, so I’m always happy to see a recipe where turkey can shine like this instead having to only be a substitution. Thank you for coming up with something so simple, yet tasty!
You’re so welcome Joell! thank you so much for stopping by!
So yummy!! The flavors melted perfectly and complemented each other. Very easy prep and minimal clean up. Definitely going in my rotation. Don’t keep scrolling it’s what you’re having for dinner tonight!
Thank you Dar for the sharing your positive experience.
I was eager to try this recipe until I read the nutrition list, 1200 + mg. of sodium for one serving, and this is using lower sodium soy sauce! This is an excessive amount of sodium for anyone to eat. I try to keep my entrees at 500-600 mg per serving. Is there any way to substitute for the soy sauce? Maybe low sodium beef or chicken broth?
You could certainly cut the amount of soy sauce in the recipe. Or replace half of it with Worcestershire sauce mixed with water (3 tablespoons Worcestershire + 1 tablespoon water) for a lower sodium option. That would cut about 300-400 mg of sodium. So you would use 1/4 cup of low sodium soy sauce and the Worcestershire option I mentioned.
Great recipe! I love the simple ingredients especially as summer is here and I don’t want a lot of complicated steps. I’m also trying to get away from red meat yet find recipes my boyfriend will eat, and this was just right. Unfortunately, I did not have low sodium soy sauce, and I salted the meat so it came out a little saltier than I like but the rice helped neutralize it.
Thanks Rachel! and Thanks for sharing your positive experience.
Excellent family meal will be a regular on our meal plan!
Thanks Lisa!
I tried a variation of this today to use up some veggies before they went bad, and it was delicious!
I used onion , shredded cabbage, and sliced squash and kikkoman teriyaki sauce over jasmine rice. This will be part of my regular ground turkey recipes, THANK YOU!
Great ideas Sil, love that you made it your own!
Pls let me know how much garlic to add. The recipe states 2 different amounts in the ingredients list. Thanks
It is specified in the written instructions, but I separated it in the ingredients list so it’s easier to understand.
Can you substitute store bought teriyaki sauce
Of course!
I have a daughter who can’t eat beef, so I was looking for something to make with ground turkey and found your receipt for the Teriyaki Rice Bowl, and I was so glad you put it online. This was a big hit with my family, and my daughter was so happy with dinner, she even went back for second. This will be something I will make again. But once again I want to thank you for this receipt, it is the best and so are you.
So happy Colleen that you and your family loved this recipe!
Had ground Turkey and wanted to try something different this time. Tried this recipe and loved it. Reduced the amount of both sugars to 1.5 Tbsp. May go down to 1 Tbsp. next time, try adding a bit of red pepper flakes and chopped peanuts as variation and serve over Pad Thai noodle as suggested by other reviewer. Awesome dinner. Loved it. Thanks for bringing ground Turkey ‘back to life.
Thank you Lucie, for stopping by and sharing your positive experience.
Made this tonight because I had some ground turkey to use. It was great and so easy. Will make again and try some different veggies.
Thanks for sharing your positive feedback Kathy.
Hello!! I really want to try this recipe, but was wondering if it could be made with ground venison? Or would it taste just as good as ground turkey? Thank you in advance!
I have never used venison in my cooking, so I can’t really say how it would alter the taste. However, I don’t see why it wouldn’t work if you like the taste.
I made this tonight and it was SO good! I cut the sugar in half, added red pepper flakes, and ate in cabbage cups instead of over rice! I also added chopped pineapple! It was AMAZING!!!!! One of my new favorites!
Thanks Megan! I love that you were able to make it work for you!
Easy to make, relatively healthy and tastes amazing. Added some other veggies. Already waiting till I can make it again!
Think it’d be weird to use any other vinegar for the red wine vinegar?
I’d recommend just using white vinegar. Rice vinegar would also be good.
Damn this is the bomb.com – we love it and have made it several times now! NO NOTES!!!!
Thanks Austin! “NO NOTES” that’s awesome! Thank you for stopping by!
Yum! My three year old and I just finished making this. We substituted red peppers and spinach for the veggies. So good! It’s hard to believe it’s ground turkey!
Great idea Greg! So happy that you and your family loved this recipe!
Great recipe! I came across this because all I had as far as meat was ground turkey and usually when I make something with it it’s bland. This was so flavorful! It was a hit with the fam and even my 8 yr old. This is definitely going in the recipe box.Thanks!
Thank you Nicole! So happy that you and your family loved this recipe!
First recipe ever with ground turkey and it really did turn out delish! Happy with this healthy meal. I can just eat it by itself as I put lots of veggies with it! Thanks so much for sharing this easy delicious recipe, as a mom of two little ones this helps so much!
Thanks for sharing your feedback, Trisha!
The teriyaki turkey rice bowl was delish! So good that my husband said I really screwed up . . . I didn’t make enough! Both my teenage girls wanted more too.
Too funny! Glad your family enjoyed it.
It has become a staple in our house. I use a bag of frozen veggie mix, and dump the sauce in after meat and onions cook. While the sauce thickens, the frozen veggies warm up. Makes for a yummy meal. I never have the red wine so I use 1/2 vinegar and 1/2 white cooking wine. It’s a perfect recipe!
So glad your family loves this recipe and that you’re able to make it work for your family!
Delicious, thank you!!
Hi Kristin,
I made your teriyaki rice bowl recipe last night and OMGoodness it was soooooo delicious!!! My husband and daughter loved it. This is definitely a keeper and I will be making it again. Thank you for an awesome recipe!!
Thank you Margie! So happy that you and your family loved this recipe!
So good! I substituted cauliflower and put it in lettuce cups bc that’s what I had in the fridge. Turned out delicious! Thanks!
Thank you Jessica! and thanks for sharing your experience!
I’m planning on making this tonight. Do you think leftovers would freeze well?
Yes I think it would be fine to freeze.
My husband and I LOVED this dish! Highly recommend!
Thanks Chelsea, So happy that you and your family loved this recipe!
You can dissolve the cornstarch directly into the soy sauce so you can avoid another bowl to wash. I used rice vinegar instead of red wine vinegar and 2-3 Tablespoons mirin rice wine (you can find this in the Asian section of supermarket) which is sweet, instead of the sugar.
Delicious, the family loved it!
Our whole family loved this recipe. Thanks for sharing.
I’m watching my sodium intake so wondered how much there is in this recipe. Looks yummy and I want to try it.
Hi Judy, Unfortunately since I am not a nutritionist I am not always able to provide nutritional information for each recipe. However there are great sites out there, like myfitnesspal.com, that can help. Thanks for stopping by!
I found this recipe after H-E-B had ground turkey for .99 cents a pound and I stocked up. I don’t use ground turkey too often so I looked for some fun recipes. This was so good! I added some frozen peas and a little oyster sauce I had in the fridge. I had almost everything for the recipe in the fridge/pantry except carrots so the whole meal cost less than $3 even when you add in rice cost! My girls, 12 & 6, absolutely loved it. When I make it again I think I will leave the broccoli a little bigger. Everything was very small, rice, ground meat, vegetables, I wouldn’t mind something a little bigger to change it up a little. Awesome recipe, I think I’m going to browse around the site a little now and see what other keepers you have!
Thank you Kristen for sharing your experience!
Rating actually 3.5. Really enjoyed this teriyaki turkey bowl recipe. BUT, I am not a big salt fan, and even with low-sodium soy sauce, I thought it was a little too salty. Next time I make it I plan to decrease the soy sauce perhaps an 1/8 of a cup and increase the water an 1/8 of a cup. I also used half the amount of both sugars. The broccoli I added was chopped a little more coarsely so it came out Al Dente. This balanced the otherwise all soft consistency of the dish. Finally, I was concerned the amount of sauce the recipe makes would be too much but it worked out just fine.
Hello Ctro, I love that you were able to make it work for you!
Excellent for quick, easy ground turkey, dish…Wish I had this receipt when my kids were kids..Guess more for me & friends :). Tweaked a little, 1 less tablespoon of reg. sugar, used Fresh grated ginger, Added a pinch of red pepper flakes for some heat to balance off sweetness, chopped up raw peanuts ( browned lightly in dry fry pan), added on top of finished dish with scallions .
Used Pad Tie rice noodles instead of boring rice…Delicious
I thought I had a bottle of teriyaki sauce in the pantry, but didn’t. I made my first teriyaki sauce and my boys LOVED IT! My 8 year old chopped up the broccoli and shredded the carrots. 3 helpings and please pack this for lunch tomorrow. What a winning meal!
Nice! So happy that you and your family loved this recipe!
My kids love this meal. We all do.
Thank you Tracy! So happy that you and your family loved this recipe!
So delicious! Thank You!
This recipe was AMAZING! I mixed it up and used bok choy instead of broccoli. Will definitely make this again!
Thank you Hope!
Love this recipe! Did not have enough soy sauce so i added a bit of Worcestershire sauce and also added baby bellas and it is so delish! Will be making this regularly from now on.
Thank you Nuria!
Delicious! Followed your recipes and so so good. Easy and flavorful. I’ll definitely make this again.
Thank you Jane!
Great recipe! Due to not having all the ingredients I replaced broccoli with crunchy fresh romaine , and replaced onion with chopped fresh celery with added onion powder. Still turned out amazing! I also used a bit of agave nectar instead of the granulated sugar in the teryiyaki and it turned out very well.
This recipe is a keeper. I used just one tablespoon of brown sugar (which I recommend) and 2 cups of broccoli. Results were delicious.
I make this 1-2 times per week, every week. I do a quick version, which is simply cooking the turkey and onions together, then I add the sauce and a bag of frozen vegetable mix (no lima beans) and let it all cook. Its fantastic and my husband loves it!! We make it in bulk now and freeze into gallon bags, defrost for dinner the next day. I also can’t find red cooking wine, so i do half white cooking wine and half vinegar.
This was awesome!! Definitely make it again!
Thank you Kathy!
You have garlic here twice. So is it actually 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons?
The teaspoons is for the sauce and the tablespoon is for the meat. 🙂
Wanted to do something different with my ground Turkey so I this for dinner…big hit! I tweaked it slightly. My vegetables included red and orange peppers, onions and broccoli. Decreased the sugar and added some red pepper flakes to give it a sweet and spicy taste. Turned out amazing.
Thanks for the recipe!
Thank you Mia!
Made this tonight and we loved it! I added chopped mushrooms. I used 1 Tablespoon white/brown sugar it was the perfect taste.
Thank you Brenda! I love that you were able to make it work for you!
Big hit! My daughter loved it! Thanks!
Thank you Anike! Glad you and your family loved it.
Hi Kristin! Does it matter if I use light or dark brown sugar? Thanks!
You could use either.
I love the teriyaki sauce! So good! I put some corn and the carrots and a little cabbage I had leftover from another meal. My son, who only wanted the rice, ate his whole meal and even asked for seconds! Thank you for a quick and easy recipe for ground turkey!
Thank you Mary! So happy that you and your family loved this recipe!
We did not like this recipe… was edible of course but nothing to talk about!
Hi Melissa, Sorry the recipe didn’t work out for you, but thanks for sharing your feedback.
Made this tonight and it was delish!
Thank You Hilarie!
I just made this and it is really good. I added celery and zucchini since I didn’t have broccoli. Delicious!
Thank you Dawn! glad that you could make it work.
I’m always looking for new ground turkey recipes and this one was a hit with my family!
So happy that you and your family loved this recipe!
Really good and easy! If I make it again I will use 1/2 the sugar, but overall a great quick weeknight meal.
Hi Rachel,
Thanks for sharing your feedback!
Hi, just wondering if you drain the fat from the turkey? If so, some or all of it?
Thanks!
You don’t get a lot of fat from ground turkey. You can drain it if you like, but it won’t really affect the recipe.
This is great, i’ve made it several times recently, once following the exact recipe and tonight with carrots, squash, green beans, zucchini, onions, broccoli, and cauliflower and I choose to go the more savory route and omitted the white sugar. Thanks a lot for this recipe it has made ground turkey far more exciting.
Thank you! Great idea, love that you made it your own!
Thank you for stopping by!
This was such an easy and tasty recipe! Exactly what I was looking for after a long day at work. Thank you!
This was a huge hit for my picky eaters! I subbed rice wine vinegar since I didn’t have any red wine vinegar. Also, the broccoli in my fridge went bad (boo!) so I used carrot slices instead. I served it over quinoa. Love the ideas from other commenters about adding bamboo shoots, baby corn, mushrooms, etc to it. Great way to get the kids to eat veggies! Thanks for such a great recipe!
This is fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. I’ve never made teriyaki sauce before! And it’s a much needed change to my regular ground turkey meal prep! I did substitute part of the sugar to coconut palm sugar and stevia but with lettuce sips instead of rice, I can still rock this recipe a few meals without worrying about going over carbs.
Came across this recipe randomly and made it for my family.
Easy recipe to follow and my whole family LOVED it!
Added celery and orange zest from reading the comments…
Thank you! (:
could I sub white rice vinegar for the red wine vinegar?
Sure!
I tried the Teryaki Turkey Rice bowl for dinner, It was really tasty! Thank you for the recipe, Its a keeper, 🙂
(Instead of broccoli I used 1rib of chopped celery and red, yellow and orange peppers (diced)
Yum.
This was so tasty! yay! will add to the dinner rotation!
Thanks so much for this delicious recipe…you saved my life today! Please post more delicious and easy recipes. ❤
Made this for supper tonight and it was soooooo good! My kids happily eat veggies, so I was able to rough cut the broccoli and carrots instead of chopping them fine; I think I’m going to try the water chestnuts and sprouts suggestion, next time. I thought the sauce was perfect-just sweet enough, and with just enough gingery bite to make it interesting.
I made this with three lbs of ground turkey and it was perfect.
Delicious recipe!! The whole family loved it. I put some shredded romaine in the bottom of each bowl, topped that with cooked quinoa, then the teriyaki turkey mixture. The boys ate it up just like that, and my daughter and I topped it with cilantro. Yum!
Sounds like a great combination! Glad you enjoyed the recipe!
This was SO good! I only added brown sugar (omitted white). I didn’t have red wine vinegar so I used apple cider vinegar and I also didn’t have soy sauce, so I did 3 tbsp of worschestershire sauce with 1 Tbsp water. Also didn’t have broccoli so I used green beans. So considering it was one of those days where I didn’t have half the ingredients in the house and had to do substitutions, we were all impressed with how good this was. Next time I will try it having the right ingredients! We served ours over quinoa
Really good -my turkey-hating husband even loved it.
Can you make ahead and freeze? Anyone tried?
I would freeze the meat and sauce separably.
This is a great recipe! I’ve been making it regularly for over a year. One of my sons doesn’t really like turkey but he’ll eat it in this without even realizing it’s turkey! I make it as is and think the recipe is great. Sometimes I make a double batch too. Thank you!
How much did this cost to make?
I suppose that would depend on where you shop.
AWESOME! Two -year-old and one-year-old liked it too. Went with 3 TBSPs of agave and it was great.
I didn`t subtract or add anything. it is absolutely delicious the way it is! Thank you for the recipe 🙂
I made this for dinner last night and it was delicious! It was really simple to make, and instead of the homemade sauce, I did have a bottle of teriyaki that I tweaked with(balsamic honey wine vinegar, brown sugar, granulated sugar, white wine vinegar).
I will probably add more veggies last time, but will put in the regular rotation of meals!
We really liked this dish! I did add more veggies since I can get away with it! I used 2 small heads of broccoli, cut into florets and added more onion (total 1 cup) and 1 red bell pepper. I also added about 1 tsp chili garlic sauce for a little zing, and used the suggestion of reducing the granulated sugar by 1 Tbsp. I did not increase the sauce and it worked well. Will be making again, and am considering trying coconut aminos for a lower sodium content. Thanks for an easy and tasty recipe!
I made this with diced boneless pork chops and it was fantastic! I recommend using the 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and 1 of granulated to start. Then taste the sauce after it starts to thicken, and decide if you want the other tablespoon (which I did). I didn’t have carrots at home, but I had fresh green beans. I threw them in the pan raw just after the pork started cooking. When the pork was finished, I let the pan rest on the lowest heat while my rice finished. This gave my green beans enough time to have a great crunch while still being cooked. I will absolutely make this dish again with other proteins and veggies!
Very good!
I made this last night and it was a hit. I doubled the sauce since I doubled the meat. I ended up with too much sauce. Next time I will double the meat again, but only add 50% more sauce. My kids found the broccoli…but liked it! Yay! Thanks for a great recipe!
The best recipe and dinner ever!!!! I’ve made this countless times and we love it every time!!!!!! Sooooo delicious!!!!
I meant ground turkey.
I just made this and it was excellent. I did the sauce as directed but I added 2 pounds of ground turkey instead of one and used celery instead of broccoli. It is perfect and with two pounds of ground beef it’s close enough to my 21 Day Fix goals.
I tried it and it was delicious. Next time I’ll put the meat mixture in egg rolls.
This was a pretty good recipe. Definitely suited for the ground turkey. Will make it again!!
This recipe was delicious! My husband and I loved it!
Made this for dinner last night and my 17 year old son LOVED it! Smelled fabulous. Having left overs tonight with lettuce cups.
Really yummy! I used brown sugar and then added honey to taste on the sauce. I also zested an orange peel. I would definitely recommend trying it with orange zest. Very yummy!
I LOVE THIS DISH AND SO DOES MY FAMILY! It is so easy to make and so healthy! Thank you!
did you ever figure out the calorie count on this? Just curious.
You can find this information using an app like my fitness pal.
We tried this for dinner last night. Everyone loved it! I used broccoli florets instead of chopped, thinly sliced the carrots, and added thinly sliced celery and bell pepper. I made the sauce as is and it wasn’t too sweet at all. 🙂
Instead of over rice I made lettuce wraps for a low carb option and used bean sprouts, onions and mushrooms instead of carrots and broccoli. Luckily my kids like vegetables so it was a hit.
Yes, I love this in lettuce wraps!
I made this tonight and the family loved it. I added a little more brown sugar. I think I will try this with chicken
Thank you so much. Very yummy
Liz
I haven’t tried the teriyaki turkey rice bowl yet but I’ve been looking for another recipe for ground turkey so I’m anxious to try it. thanks, Diane
So delicious! I subbed shredded brussel sprouts instead & it was so good. I’ll definitely be saving this recipe. So full of flavor.
Tried it last night. It was awesome. I did cut back the sugar and it tasted great. I’m thinking about adding chopped water chestnuts to the recipe. I think it will add a nice crunch to it. I had extra sauce, so I’m marinating chicken breast in it for another meal.
I added baby corn and water chestnuts for the kids.A success!
Was a hit with our family tonight! And my 12-year-old daughter enjoyed helping me prepare it! I served it with udon noodles – my kids compared it to an Asian “Noddles & Company” dish.
Thanks so much for posting this recipe. Came in handy while searching for a quick recipe after a long day of work. This was delicious!! My husband and I loved it.
The recipe was simple to make. I only subbed the broccoli for kale as I didn’t have broccoli on hand. This also made for wonderful lunch leftovers. Thanks!
Made this tonight and burnt my tongue because it was so good I couldn’t wait! So delicious and definitely will be laing this often.
This meal was tasty. I cut the brocolli and carrots a little chunkier cause my kids like brocolli and next time I think I’d add more. I couldn’t find my corn starch so I was going to make a rue to put into the pan and thicken it and ended up using one tsp of flour into the sauce and couldn’t wait to thicken it because my husband had to leave for work. So I ended up putting the sauce in meat mixture And let it simmer and it did well! Oh, I did add half a cup of water instead of a quarter.
Absolutely amazing! I served it with a peanut satee sauce and lettuce wraps. My family totally loved it, including my husband who hates ground turkey and my son who hates vegetables.
This was a wonderful recipe with deliciousness everywhere.
Tastes amazing. You know it’s a high quality recipe because you sauté the onions for a couple minutes, then add garlic. Garlic cooks faster, that small change makes a big difference! A+!!
I made this for the second time and it is awesome! I used frozen riced cauliflower and an extra carrot and it is a family hit. I serve it with rice noodles which really suits this recipe. Thanks!
Hi Kristin,
This is a great dish thank you for sharing!!
This was so good! Perfect flavor! I served with extra broccoli and Jasmine rice.
Made it and it turned out so delicious!! This was a way great to incorporate lots of veggies for meat lovers. Would have liked if the ingredients were separated as it was hard to tell how much garlic went into the sauce and turkey. Other than that, easy to follow and make! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!!
Tried this as I was at a loss of what to make with ground turkey I got on sale. I switched out Soy Sauce for Teriyaki Sauce. I didnt have ginger so added a little Newmans Own Sesame Ginger. Turned out amazing! Family loves it. Thank you!
I had to make it without the brown sugar, because I was out of it, but still made the sauce. So I went ahead and added an extra 2 tbsp of teriyaki sauce, also. My husband absolutely loved it. We had enough for leftovers for the next night. Very delicious!
Not sure if my ground turkey was bad or I just didn’t care for the brand I bought, but I could not eat this at all. I might try with ground chicken next time or a different brand turkey.
Sorry to hear that Dawn! Everyone raves about this recipe so I hope you’ll give it another try.
Hi what is the calorie count on this dish per serving? Please
Hi Dee, I am not able to provide calorie counts for my recipes, but there are lots of great nutritional calculators online.
I ran out of soy sauce just before I started cooking, so I used Sriracha teriyaki sauce instead. I also used more carrots and onion to add more crunch. The result was amazing! Thank you the great idea!
Thank you Kristin this was a hit in my home, everyone loved it!
I used less sugar -3 tbsp of coconut sugar- total
I only had regular soy sauce ;(… it was in the salty side so if you don’t have low sodium I recommend you use less soy sauce and replace with some water maybe?
I double the veggies including the onions.
And by mistake I tripled the garlic. It was amazing even with all my changes and mistakes;)
THANK YOU !
Both my boys- the 3yr old and the 40 yr old – just asked me if I would make this again next week. Score!!!
Made this last night and my husband and I loved it! It’s going in our regular dinner rotation. I loved the addition of vegetables, and I think it’s a great recipe to swap out different veggies we have on hand that week. Thanks for a great recipe!
So glad to hear it Kristen!
I tried this tonight, using 1/2 the sugar it called for, and my family loved it! My 3 very picky kids ate all of it and no leftovers. Will have to double recipe next time.
Glad to hear it!
Found this last minute, happened to have all the ingredients on hand, so I whipped it up. Family loved it, I added diced water chestnuts for little extra texture. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Made this tonight! My boys and husband loved it! No leftovers! Thanks
So happy to hear that!
I like this recipe, I was looking for something different to try with ground turkey. I added some napa cabbage that I needed use up – I liked it with and without the cabbage. I used truvia brown sugar blend and stevia for the sugars and used less than called for as I did not want it to be too sweet. I also used fresh ginger.
So delicious!! Worth the time!!
I love this recipe – I have made it almost weekly since I found it. I just tried it with spaghetti squash instead of rice and it is delicious!
This was an amazing very healthy meal. I prepared this for my fiance’ and she absolutely loved it! Very simple to make and easy with time. Thank you so much for sharing.
So glad you both enjoyed it Robert!
Hello,
I was just thinking 1lb wiukdnt be enough for my Family. If I use 2lbs ground Turkey would I must double everything else?
Yes you would want to double the sauce.
Made tonight but didn’t have broccoli. Served with LoMein noodles and snow peas for a side. Will definitely make again and use for lettuce wraps. Added crushed red pepper flakes to give it that kick! Thanks for the easy directions!
Hello!
If i’m using store bought teriyaki sauce, how much should I use for the same amounth of meat/veggie?
Thanks!
Yes, just adjust the amount of sauce to your desired taste.
This is a new family favorite. Made it last week, and my hubby is already asking for it again. I may need to double so there are enough leftovers for both of us! 😉
Kids and family love this.
I searched “ground turkey recipes” because it was late and I needed we make something quickly to keep my boyfriend and friends from the urge to buy takeout and this was a huge hit! Not only was the food great, but we have fun doing it together. We subbed broccoli for peas and all agreed that water chestnuts or cashews would be a great add-in for next time (because we’re totally making it again). Thanks for helping us create a great meal!
Thank you for sharing your success Ariana! So glad you enjoyed it and I love your idea for adding cashews!
This is such a great, simple recipe ~ thanks! It’s in regular rotation at our house.
So glad you enjoyed it Kim!
I don’t have red wine, could we substitute with white wine?
The Red Wine Vinegar has a distinct flavor, but in a pinch you could swap for white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
I have both, thank you. Already prep everything about to start making it ?
I made this tonight and it turned out great. I reduced both sugars by half and it was still sweet enough for us. We are attempting to reduce our sugar intake. Most recipes I reduce the sugar content in half.
How Manny servings dose this make please?
It makes 3-4 servings.
Hi!
I was just wondering how this does with freezing (if you’ve tried that) for making make ahead meals?
I love this recipe, it is so good!
I haven’t tried that, but I think it would freeze fine.
This was very delicious but I cut the sugar drastically! I use 2T or brown and1T of white. It was still really sweet. My kids loved it too. Thanks!
I just made this tonight. It was delicious. I didn’t have any broccoli in the house but did have half a red, half a yellow, and half a green pepper. So I did onion and peppers and left out the carrots and broccoli. It was absolutely amazing and my boyfriend loved it. Asked for leftovers for lunch and to add to the rotation in our meals for sure!! Thanks for sharing.
That’s great! It’s super versatile and you can definitely swap out different veggies or even proteins!
I’ll admit, I started out thinking I wouldn’t like this. Because, in the past I haven’t like ground turkey. But this was DELICIOUS! My kids inhaled it and I wasn’t far behind them. I might have to change my mind about ground turkey. 🙂
I love how easy it is and that it’s a homemade teriyaki sauce. Super delicious and I’m excited about the leftovers for lunch!
So glad you liked it! Ground turkey is like chicken in that it takes on any flavor you give it!
I’m just wondering, around how long does it take to make this? 20 mins? And I bet this would taste delicious with ground chicken!
Yes, 20 minutes is about right – hope you enjoy!
Made this tonight, used beef instead!! Was awesome! And easy! My new favourite sauce!!
This is delicious! Made it for dinner tonight, and it was even better than I expected. It’s very filling, so I have plenty for leftovers. Keeping this on my regular dinner rotation. Thank you for posting this!
So glad you enjoyed it! The meat mixture is delicious in lettuce wraps too, which is perfect for leftovers!
I’m looking forward to making this but I was wondering why you had two sets of minced garlic in the recipe? When do I use the 2 teaspoons and when do I use the 2 tablespoons?
The teaspoons is for the sauce and the tablespoons are for the meat mixture. Sorry that wasn’t more clear! 🙂
Made this for the family tonight and it was a hit! It is now going to be added to our rotation. The only change was that I used less sugar and I omitted the carrots simply because we didn’t have any! Both my kids devoured it with rice and husband and I loved it, too! Loved that it was a meal that gave you low carb/yes carb choices. Many thanks!
Just made this for dinner and my family of 6 loved it! I want to share it with my mom who follows weight watchers. She needs to know the calories, fat, fiber, etc. info. Any idea on the specs of this delish dish?
Hi Amber,
Unfortunately I am not a nutritionist so I hesitate to attempt to give out nutritional information. However there are many nutrition calculators available online. Good luck!
Ok, thanks!
Amber if you put all the ingredients into your app you should be able to get the smart points for this

Just made this for dinner and am in heaven! It so good!!! I like a little heat so I added some cayenne pepper to it.
This will be going into rotation. Thanks!
Oh what a great idea! Glad you enjoyed it!! It’s one of my all time favorites. 🙂
this seemed a little overwhelming, but it wasn’t!! easy to prepare, and so yummy!! will make again!
I know it looks like a lot of ingredients, but that’s just for the sauce – you could always use a bottled teriyaki sauce if you wanted! But I’m glad you gave it a shot. It’s one of my favorite meals to date!!
My husband & I enjoyed this recipe – great as leftovers too! Thanks for sharing.
Made this for my daughter yesterday for dinner and she said, “mommy this is the best meal in the world!” It was pretty tasty if I say so myself.
That’s great!!
Thank you, Kristin for this recipe! My 9 year old granddaughter will only eat mac & cheese. Since I had a frozen ground turkey breast in my freezer and had all these ingredients on hand I made it for her and she absolutely loved it!
Thanks,
Jane
This sounds delicious and will be a meal (with leftovers for work lunch) this week! I know just how you feel about trying to sneak veggies into your kids…mine were the very same way! Thanks for sharing!
