  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Protein and Vegetables

  • 500 g turkey mince
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 220 g tenderstem broccoli or broccoli, leaves trimmed and florets cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 spring onions, sliced
  • 1 red chili, thinly sliced (optional)

Sauce and Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 120 g teriyaki sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons dark or light soy sauce
  • 1 lime, juiced and zested
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1.5 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
  • 1-3 tablespoons water (to adjust sauce consistency)

Garnishes

  • 4 tablespoons honey-roasted peanuts, chopped
  • 4 tablespoons chopped coriander

Side

  • Basmati rice, cooked according to package instructions (amount depending on servings)

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice: Prepare the basmati rice according to the package instructions to serve alongside the stir fry. This ensures the rice is ready just in time for serving.
  2. Make the stir fry sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, Sriracha, and soy sauce. Add the lime juice and mix in the minced garlic and ginger. Check the sauce’s consistency and add 1 to 3 tablespoons of water as needed to achieve a runny honey-like texture.
  3. Brown the turkey mince: Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large pan over medium heat. Add the turkey mince and cook, stirring frequently with a spatula or spoon to break it apart. Continue until the turkey is browned evenly, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  4. Add the vegetables and stir fry: Toss in the sliced red onion and tenderstem broccoli. Stir fry for 3 to 5 minutes, aiming to keep the broccoli slightly crisp and not overcooked.
  5. Combine with the sauce: Pour the prepared stir fry sauce over the turkey and vegetables in the pan. Toss everything together to evenly coat and heat through, allowing the sauce to cling to the ingredients.
  6. Serve and garnish: Portion the stir fry over the cooked basmati rice or noodles. Top with chopped honey-roasted peanuts, sliced spring onions, chopped coriander, and optional sliced red chili for extra heat and texture.

Notes

  • The stir fry sauce can be adjusted in spiciness by increasing or decreasing the Sriracha according to taste.
  • Use water to thin the sauce to your preferred consistency; too thick can make coating uneven.
  • Honey-roasted peanuts add a sweet crunch, but you can substitute with regular peanuts if preferred.
  • For a vegetarian version, replace turkey mince with tofu or a plant-based mince alternative.
  • Serve immediately to maintain the crispness of the vegetables.
