Instructions
Whisk together the first five ingredients in a glass measuring cup. Then, dissolve the cornstarch in the water then mix it with the rest of the teriyaki sauce ingredients and set aside.
Drizzle the olive oil in a large skillet or dutch oven over medium heat. Once it’s hot and shimmering, add the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, until soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the ground turkey to the pan and cook, breaking it up into small pieces until mostly cooked, 3-4 minutes. Add the chopped broccoli, shredded carrot and sliced red pepper, and continue to cook until the vegetables are soft and the turkey is cooked through, with no pink remaining.
Pour the teriyaki sauce over the turkey and turn the heat up to medium-high until the mixture is bubbling then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer to thicken the sauce. Remove it from the heat to assemble the bowls.
Add the cooked jasmine rice to the bottom of a bowl and top with teriyaki turkey. Finish with sliced avocado, green onion, chopped cilantro and sesame seeds.
Notes
This recipe is a combination of several I have used and tweaked it a bit to mimic the Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps https://walestable.com/thai-chicken-lettuce-wraps/It most closely mirror's this one by "What Molly Made" https://whatmollymade.com/teriyaki-turkey-rice-bowl/#wprm-recipe-container-40627This recipe would work great as a lettuce wrap filling, or just a salad topping if you prefer to not eat it with rice. I would suggest eating the mixture cooled over a salad.
