Teriyaki Turkey Meatballs with Rice

Preparation

1
Cook the brown rice according to package directions. Typically, combine 1 cup brown rice with 2 cups water in a pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes until water is absorbed and rice is tender. Let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes after cooking.
2
While the rice cooks, prepare the meatballs. In a medium bowl, combine the ground turkey, oat flour, 2 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated fresh ginger. Mix gently until just combined. Form the mixture into small, bite-sized meatballs, about 1-inch in diameter.
3
Heat the sesame oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set aside.
4
In the same skillet, if desired, add the broccoli florets and a splash of water. Cover and steam for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp. Alternatively, you can steam the broccoli separately.
5
In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sugar teriyaki sauce and the remaining 2 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce. Pour this sauce into the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the cooked meatballs back into the skillet and toss gently to coat them evenly with the teriyaki glaze.
6
Serve immediately. Divide the cooked brown rice, glazed teriyaki turkey meatballs, and steamed broccoli evenly between two bowls.
