# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything comes together in one skillet, so cleanup is a breeze even on your most exhausted evenings.
  • The honey and sriracha create a sauce that's both comforting and exciting, never boring.
  • It holds up beautifully in the fridge, making it perfect for grab-and-go lunches all week.
02 -
  • Don't let the garlic and ginger brown or they'll turn bitter and ruin the whole base.
  • Taste the sauce before you add it to the turkey so you can tweak the sriracha or honey to match your heat tolerance.
  • If your broccoli sits too long after steaming, it'll lose its vibrant color, so time it with the turkey.
03 -
  • Use a nonstick skillet to prevent the glaze from sticking and burning on the bottom.
  • Toast your sesame seeds in a dry pan for 30 seconds before sprinkling them on top for extra nutty flavor.
  • If you like more sauce, double the glaze ingredients and serve extra on the side for drizzling.
