# Instructions:

Combine 3/4 cup water, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, honey, and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir to combine. Bring to a low boil.

Heat sesame oil in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté for several minutes until softened. Add ground turkey and cook until fully browned and no longer pink, about 7-10 minutes, ensuring it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Add broccoli and carrots, cooking until tender. Reduce heat to low and stir in the prepared teriyaki sauce. Simmer for several minutes before serving.

Serve the stir fry hot over rice, cauliflower rice, noodles, or use as filling for lettuce wraps as desired.

Ground chicken, pork, or beef can be substituted for turkey. If using beef, drain excess grease after browning.

Add spice by including cayenne, red pepper flakes, or sriracha.

Incorporate additional vegetables such as bell peppers, snow peas, baby corn, or others to taste.

If the teriyaki sauce is too thick, stir in additional water until the desired consistency is achieved.
