Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey (lean)
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 carrot (large, thinly sliced)
• 0.5 cup yellow onion (sliced)
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 cup white rice (long-grain)
• 4 cup water
• 2 green onions (thinly sliced)

Instructions

1. Cook white rice: In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups uncooked white rice with 4 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
2. While rice cooks, prepare the stir-fry: In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon water. Set aside.
3. Heat canola oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
4. Add broccoli florets, sliced carrot, and sliced yellow onion to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, until vegetables are tender-crisp.
5. Stir in grated fresh ginger and minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
6. Pour the soy sauce mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
7. Remove from heat and stir in the sesame oil. Serve immediately over the fluffy white rice. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions, if desired.

Notes

You can add other quick-cooking vegetables like snap peas or mushrooms if you wish.
