Teriyaki Turkey Skillet Recipe
This Teriyaki turkey skillet is a deliciously flavorful way to use up that pound of ground turkey in your fridge or freezer.
Mini Chef and I eat a lot of ground turkey. It’s versatile, tastes great and is pretty readily available. But you can only make a taco salad or turkey burgers so many times before it starts to get old. So I find myself experimenting often to see what new dishes I can come up with.
If you like teriyaki chicken, you’ll enjoy this dish too. It’s got veggies and just the right balance of sweet and salty to give good flavor.

HOW TO COOK GROUND TURKEY
Ground turkey is pink when raw, and well browned with finished cooking. It’s impossible to really use a meat thermometer with ground turkey, so you have to go off the look of it. Stir it frequently while cooking, breaking up any chunks as you go so you end up with a nice scramble. Add your seasonings at about the halfway point of cooking. On average, it can take about 10-15 minutes to fully cook a pound of ground turkey, depending on your stove and the pan used. Some will cook faster, some slower. But that’s about the average cooking time.
