Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Korean
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, minced
- 4 cups cooked rice
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup carrots, julienned
- Sesame seeds for garnish
- Green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and chopping vegetables. Julienne the carrots, mince the garlic and ginger, and chop green onions for garnish.
- In a large skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and break it into small crumbles while cooking.
- Cook the turkey until it's completely browned and no pink remains, approximately 6-7 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure even cooking.
- Add minced garlic and ginger to the turkey, stirring for 30-45 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in soy sauce and brown sugar, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes, letting the sauce caramelize and coat the turkey.
- In a separate pan, steam broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
- Prepare rice according to package instructions if not already cooked.
- Divide rice among four bowls, topping each with the seasoned turkey mixture.
- Arrange steamed broccoli and julienned carrots around the turkey.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
- Serve immediately while hot, optionally with extra soy sauce on the side.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, wash and chop your vegetables in advance. This way, you can focus on cooking without any distractions!

- Adjust the Sauce: If you prefer a sweeter or saltier taste, feel free to adjust the amount of brown sugar and soy sauce to suit your palate.
- Vegetable Variations: Feel free to mix and match your vegetables! Bell peppers, snap peas, or zucchini can make great additions to this dish.
- Garnish for Flair: Don’t skip the sesame seeds and green onions—they add a wonderful crunch and a pop of color that makes your dish look restaurant-quality.
- Serve Hot: Enjoy your Korean Turkey Rice Bowls immediately while they’re hot for the best flavor and texture. You can also serve extra soy sauce on the side for those who love a little extra kick!
