Ingredients

12 oz Broccoli Florets cut into bite size pieces
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 pound Ground Turkey or Ground Chicken
⅓ cup (95g) Trader Joe's Soyaki or any teriyaki sauce
3 packs (95g each) Trader Joe's Knife Cut Noodles see notes for substitutions
Green Onions and Toasted Sesame Seeds for serving

Instructions

Bring a pot of water to a boil for the noodles.
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until nicely browned in spots. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
Add the turkey and brown one side for 2-3 minutes before breaking apart and fully cooking. Add the teriyaki sauce to the cooked turkey, stir together, and cook another 1-2 minutes until the sauce begins to caramelize on the bottom.
Add the noodles to the boiling water once you add the sauce to the turkey in step 3. Cook the noodles for 4 minutes.
Reserve about 1 cup of the cooking liquid from the noodles before draining the rest. Add the noodles back to the pot along with the sauce packets.
Add the broccoli and turkey to the noodles. Use the reserved water as needed to bring everything together. (I used about ½ cup.)
Garnish with sliced green onion and toasted sesame seeds.

Notes

Momofuku noodles are a close alternative that come in a variety of flavors. The sauce in the Trader Joe's knife cut noodles consists of primarily toasted sesame oil and soy sauce.

If you're using instant noodles that don't come with a sauce packet, try adding a 2-3 teaspoons of toasted sesame oil and a tablespoon of coconut aminos or low sodium soy sauce. Black pepper, chili powder, garlic and shallot seasonings, and paprika are listed on the ingredient label of TJ's noodles, but the flavors are pretty mild. But feel free to add some extra spices as you see fit. I like adding a couple frozen cubes of crushed garlic (and/or ginger) to dishes like this.
