Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb lean ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned, then drain any excess fat. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, forming the savory base for your Sweet & Spicy Ground Turkey Broccoli Bowls: Protein-Packed.

Add the diced 1/2 yellow onion to the skillet with the cooked turkey. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced 3 cloves garlic and grated 1 tbsp fresh ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
05 -
Pour the prepared Sweet Heat Glaze into the skillet with the turkey and aromatics. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and beautifully coats the turkey. This creates the signature flavor for your Sweet & Spicy Ground Turkey Broccoli Bowls: Protein-Packed.

For extra crisp broccoli, try broiling for the last 1-2 minutes after roasting, watching carefully to prevent burning.
