This Teriyaki Turkey Breast and Carrots recipe is a simple and delicious meal that combines lean turkey meat with crunchy carrots, all coated in a savory teriyaki sauce. It's perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a satisfying lunch.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by washing and peeling the carrot. Cut the carrot into julienne (thin, matchstick-sized) pieces.
- Thinly slice the turkey breast into small, bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
- In a bowl, combine the teriyaki sauce and soy sauce.
- Add the sliced turkey breast to the bowl and toss to coat every piece evenly with the sauce mixture. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- In a non-stick skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the julienned carrots to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until they begin to soften but still have a bit of crunch. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Using the same skillet, add a bit more oil if necessary, and turn the heat to medium.
- Place the marinated turkey slices in the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the turkey is fully cooked and has a nice golden brown color. Make sure any excess marinade is added to the skillet for added flavor.
- Once the turkey is cooked, add the sautéed carrots back into the skillet. Toss everything together to coat the carrots with the remaining sauce in the skillet.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to ensure the flavors meld together.
- Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Plate the teriyaki turkey breast and carrots, ensuring an even distribution of both elements.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds or chopped green onions if desired (optional).
- Serve immediately while hot. This dish pairs well with steamed rice or a fresh green salad.
Tips:
- Make sure to slice the turkey breast and carrots thinly for even cooking.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce the overall sodium content of the dish.
- For a thicker sauce, simmer it for a few minutes before adding it to the turkey and carrots.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli for added nutrition and flavor.
- Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
