Equipment
- 1 Rice cooker or pot
- 1 Cutting board + knife
Ingredients
- 1 lb Lean ground turkey (I used 93/7)
- 1 cup Jasmine rice, uncooked
- 1 1/2 cups Pineapple chunks (canned or fresh)
- 1 Red bell pepper, chopped
- 1/4 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 2 Cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Ginger, minced
- 1 tsp Cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water
- Green onions and sesame seeds for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Start by cooking jasmine rice according to package instructions. Set aside when done.
- Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground turkey, garlic, and ginger. Cook until the turkey is browned, breaking it up into crumbles, about 6-8 minutes.
- Stir in chopped red bell pepper and pineapple chunks. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the pepper softens.
- In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, and the cornstarch slurry. Pour the mixture over the turkey and stir. Let it simmer for another 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Divide cooked rice into 4 bowls. Top with the teriyaki turkey and pineapple mixture.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
