Notes
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, consider freezing the teriyaki ground turkey mixture in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Cooked rice or quinoa can also be stored separately in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Reheating: To reheat, warm the teriyaki ground turkey mixture in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, adding a splash of water if needed to maintain moisture. The rice or quinoa can be reheated in the microwave or in a pot with a little water to prevent drying out.
Serving: Serve the teriyaki ground turkey over a bed of rice or quinoa in individual bowls. For an appealing presentation, layer the rice first, then the turkey mixture, and finally the sautéed vegetables. Garnish with freshly chopped green onions for added flavor and color.
Chef’s Tip: For an extra flavor boost, marinate the ground turkey in a small amount of teriyaki sauce for 15-30 minutes before cooking. This enhances the overall taste and keeps the turkey juicy. You can also add other vegetables like snap peas or carrots for more variety and nutrients.
