Ingredients
  • 228.8 g Ground Turkey
  • 153.4 g Rice, white, long-grain, cooked
  • 139.4 g Broccoli, raw, chopped
  • 20.9 g Honey
Method
  1. 01In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey with finely minced lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, and a touch of bird's-eye chili to replicate the flavor profile of traditional Sai Oua.
  2. 02Shape the mixture into small patties.
  3. 03Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the turkey patties until they are deeply browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  4. 04While the meat cooks, steam your long-grain rice until fluffy.
  5. 05Briefly blanch the chopped broccoli in the same pan, allowing it to take on some of the charred aromatics from the turkey.
  6. 06To serve, mound the hot jasmine rice into a bowl, arrange the herb-infused turkey patties alongside the bright green broccoli, and drizzle the honey over the meat just before serving to provide a delicate, balanced sweetness that cuts through the savory Thai spices.
  7. 07Garnish with an extra sprinkle of toasted aromatics if available.
