Cooking the Turkey and Vegetables
  1. In a large skillet, heat sesame oil over medium heat.

  3. Stir in teriyaki sauce, broccoli, and carrots. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until vegetables are tender.
  4. Serve the turkey and vegetable mixture over cooked rice.

Notes

For best texture, reheat gently. If the sauce seems thin, let it simmer a minute longer to thicken; if too thick, add a splash of water.
