Why you’ll love this recipe…
What I love most about this recipe is that it gives life to ground turkey, when often it is often avoided, because this recipe is so tasty! Plus, there are a few other reasons you’ll enjoy this recipe:
- Healthy dinner recipe
- Simple and fresh ingredients
- Budget friendly
- The bowl is bursting with flavor
- No dry turkey
This recipe in itself is very filling! But, if you want more options with dinner, I’d suggest either the chickpea antipasto salad or slow-cooked baked potato, and finish dinner with a light dessert like my red, white, and blue cheesecake fruit salad.

Key Ingredients:
- Protein: True to the name, I use ground turkey in this recipe; any percentage will do, and it will cook up perfectly in the sweet and spicy sauce.
- Sriracha: Sriracha is the flavor powderhouse in this recipe. It will add spice, but will balance wonderfully with the honey and soy sauce in the homemade sauce.
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
How to Make Sweet & Spicy Turkey and Broccoli Bowls:
- Cook the Turkey: In a large pan, heat the ground turkey over medium heat for about 3 minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks.
- Add the Broccoli: Stir in the broccoli florets along with 1/4 cup of beef broth or water. Cover and cook for about 12 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and the turkey is fully cooked.
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, and Sriracha. Whisk until well blended.
- Combine & Simmer: Pour the sauce into the pan with the turkey and broccoli. Let everything simmer together for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Serve: Spoon the mixture over your cooked rice and enjoy!
My Pro Tip
Recipe Tip
If you love spice, feel free to add more, or even add a little chili paste to the sauce.

Recipe FAQs
The recipe has a little bit of a kick to it. But, if you prefer, you can always leave out the sriracha sauce and avoid any spice.
I love adding a little bit of sesame seeds and sliced green onions for more flavor!
Yes! While using ground turkey is what I’ve chosen for this recipe, but you can always use ground beef or ground chicken.
Green beans, bell peppers, water chestnuts, ginger, and shredded carrots are all great options.
My family and I enjoy this served with fluffy white rice or cauliflower rice to mix into the savory teriyaki sauce.
