- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)

Instructions
- Prepare the Rice/Quinoa: Cook your rice or quinoa according to the package directions and set aside to serve later with the turkey and broccoli mixture.
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat to prepare for cooking the ground turkey.

- Combine Ingredients: Pour the prepared sauce over the turkey and broccoli mixture in the skillet and stir thoroughly to ensure even coating.

Notes
- You can adjust the sriracha quantity to make the dish spicier or milder according to your preference.
- Broccoli can be substituted with other crisp vegetables like snap peas or bell peppers for variation.
- For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
- Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat nicely in a skillet or microwave.
