Ingredients
  

Protein and Base
  • 1 pound ground turkey Use 93/7 or 85/15 fat content for best flavor and texture.
  • 1 cup rice (white or brown) Jasmine rice is recommended for its stickiness.
Creamy Sauce
  • 1/2 cup cream Heavy cream gives the richest result; coconut cream is a dairy-free option.
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce Use good-quality sriracha for best flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey Adjust to taste if the dish is too spicy.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil Used for browning the turkey.
Vegetables
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets Cut into small pieces for even cooking.

  2. Add bell pepper and broccoli, cooking until tender, about 4–6 minutes.
Final Touches
