Teriyaki Turkey Rice Bowl Food

TERIYAKI TURKEY RICE BOWL

Steps:

• Mix soy sauce, 1/4 cup water, red wine vinegar, sugars, garlic and ginger in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir with a whisk until sugar is dissolved.
• In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons warm water and cornstarch until cornstarch is completely dissolved.
• Heat sauce over medium high heat. Slowly whisk in cornstarch mixture and simmer until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onions and cook until soft.
• Crumble ground turkey and garlic into the pan and cook until turkey is about half cooked. Add grated carrots and chopped broccoli and continue to cook until turkey is no longer pink.
• Pour teriyaki sauce over cooked turkey and vegetable mixture and stir. Simmer for about five minutes to combine the flavors.
• Spoon meat over rice or noodles. Garnish with green onions and serve immediately.

TERIYAKI CHICKEN RICE BOWL

Steps:

• Whisk the teriyaki sauce, peanut oil and 1/4 cup water in a large bowl until smooth. Add the spinach, snap peas, bell pepper, tomatoes, scallions, basil, chicken and cashews; toss to combine and season with salt and pepper.
• Warm the rice in the microwave. Serve topped with the chicken-vegetable salad.

TERIYAKI MEATBALL BOWLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the ground pork or chicken in a large bowl. To the bowl add the remaining meatball ingredients. Mix until just evenly combined.
• Cover a baking sheet with foil. With wet hands roll the meatball mixture into small balls, about one tablespoon each. Don't squeeze too tightly or the meatballs will become tough. The yield should be about 30 meatballs. Place the meatballs on the baking sheet as you roll them. Bake in the preheated oven until cook through golden brown, about 30-35 minutes.
• In the meantime, begin cooking the rice according to the package directions: Place the rice and water in a medium pot, cover, and bring to a rapid boil over high heat. As soon as it reaches a full boil, turn the heat down to the lowest setting. Allow to simmer on low for 20 minutes, then turn the heat off and let the rice rest, undisturbed, until the rest of the meal is complete. The rice will continue to steam after the heat is turned off, so don't remove the lid.
• While the meatballs are in the oven, prepare the teriyaki glaze. In a medium pot combine the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil and ginger. Heat over a low flame until the brown sugar is dissolved, just a few minutes.
• Dissolve the cornstarch in just enough water to make it pourable. Pour it into the pot with the glaze ingredients. Turn the heat up to medium high, stir and cook until thickened. It should thicken as soon as it begins to simmer. Once thickened, add the sesame seeds.
• When the meatballs are done, transfer them from the baking sheet into the pot with the glaze. Stir to coat. Fluff the rice with a fork. Build the bowls by placing one cup of rice in a bowl, add five meatballs and a couple of spoons of extra teriyaki glaze, then sprinkle a few sliced green onions over top.

ROAST TERIYAKI TURKEY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500°. In a saucepan, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake, vinegar, brown sugar and ginger. Add the cornstarch mixture and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook, stirring, until glossy and slightly thickened (about 3 minutes). Put sauce to a bowl.
• Set the turkey in a large roasting pan and scatter the onions around it. Season the turkey inside and out with salt and white pepper. In a small bowl, blend 4 tablespoons of the butter with the olive oil and brush some over the turkey.
• Roast the turkey for 30 minutes, or until golden in color. Baste with the butter mixture and add the cup of water to the roasting pan. Reduce the oven temperature to 325° and roast the turkey for 1 hour, basting twice with the remaining butter mixture; loosely cover the bird with foil if the breast browns too quickly.
• Pour half of the teriyaki sauce into a bowl; baste the turkey with it. Roast the turkey for 1 1/2 hours longer, basting with the sauce from the bowl every 30 minutes; the turkey is done when the skin is completely lacquered and a thermometer inserted in an inner thigh reads 170°. Transfer to a carving board; let rest for 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, strain the pan juices into a bowl; skim off the fat and save the onions. Set the pan over 1 burner. Add the onions to the pan and cook over high heat, stirring, until browned, about 3 minutes. Add the pan juices, chicken stock and the left over teriyaki sauce. Bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
