Turkey Teriyaki with Broccoli and Rice

Yes of course you can make it with chicken or thinly sliced steak yum! Let me give you the link to the original recipe which I then adapted.

There now you have it. How about a picture?



Turkey Teriyaki

1 lb (ish) turkey, chicken, steak or tofu
1 bag of frozen broccoli florets
Brown Jasmine rice (or whatever kind you like-I like the stickiness of jasmine)

1/4 cup soy sauce (check your label for odd ingredients if you are concerned about that sort of thing. I buy braggs liquid aminos)
1 cup water
1/2 tsp minced ginger (you can buy this in a small jar its really more of a watery paste)
1/2 tsp minced garlic
7 Tbsp agave
2 Tbsp cornstarch and just enough water to liquify it

Combine all of your sauce ingredients except the cornstarch in a small pot. Cook over medium heat. In a separate pot get your rice going according to the label instructions. Cut up you meat or meat substitute and cook until done over medium heat. If you want you could bread and fry but I just cooked mine with no seasonings in a little extra virgin olive oil. If your broccoli is the type you can microwave in the bag then go ahead and throw it in the microwave. When your sauce is heated but not boiling stir in your liquidy cornstarch stirring constantly to avoid lumps, sauce will begin to thicken. When your meat is cooked all the way through combine it and the broccoli in a serving dish and pour over the sauce. Serve with rice YUM!

I do confess this is in my opinion far inferior to the general tsaos but every once in a while we need something different, and this is definitely a delicious option!

Hope you love it! Love you!
