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
- 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.
- 02Shape the mixture into small patties.
- 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.
- 04While the meat cooks, steam your long-grain rice until fluffy.
- 05Briefly blanch the chopped broccoli in the same pan, allowing it to take on some of the charred aromatics from the turkey.
- 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.
- 07Garnish with an extra sprinkle of toasted aromatics if available.
