lb Turkey

tsp sesame oil

Serve over rice or as desired!

For the Stir Fry

I loved this but unfortunately the rest of my family didn’t. They didn’t like the sauce so I would tweak it and maybe omit the orange zest and ginger. I think they prefer a more sweet teriyaki sauce. Was good recipe but maybe too many steps for the sauce .

Love this recipe. My whole family ate all of it!!!!!

Absolutely flavorful and delicious! My family loved it. Thank you for sharing.

This will definitely be put in the rotation!! Thank you

The recipe was pretty fast and easy.  Both my husband and I thought it was a bit bland;  could have used some sriracha.

This was yum! Would definitely make again! Left out the orange zest because the only thing I could find was mandarins. But it was still absolutely delicious!

Excellent taste, quick and easy, you don't have to be a skilled chef to make. My family loved it, will be making this from now on. I was going to use a store bought teriyaki Inhad in the fridge, but decided to try and make it like the recipe.... it taste so good  and was easy to make! I will probably never buy teriyaki sauce again and start making my own!

My mission was to make something with the ingredients we had on hand.  We managed to have all the ingredients for this recipe.  It was very easy to make.  Flavorful and the veggies added just enough.  We used as it said carrots and broccoli.  Even my picky eater said this was good.  I would say that’s a win!

Delicious! How long would the sauce last in the fridge for?

I wanted to make something different for dinner and I had ground turkey defrosted and leftover rice in the fridge. I googled 'ground turkey with rice' and found this recipe. My family absolutely loved this dish; delicious and SUPER easy. The teriyaki sauce was perfect per your directions. 

I have 2 questions:

Where did the sesame seeds come from in your recipe? I see them in the photo but not in the ingredients. And can you use dried orange zest, i.e.. Minced Dehydrated Culinary Orange Peel? If yes, do you need to do anything to it before using? We don't often have oranges or orange juice in our refrigerator. 

Thanks!
