# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together faster than takeout arrives, and you control every drop of sauce.
  • The honey and sriracha create a glaze so good youll want to lick the skillet clean.
  • Meal prep dreams are made of this: it tastes even better the next day.
02 -
  • Don't skip draining the turkey if it releases a lot of fat, or your sauce will turn greasy instead of glossy.
  • If you add the sauce while the heat is too high, the honey can scorch and turn bitter, so keep it at a gentle simmer.
03 -
  • Mise en place is your friend here: have your sauce mixed and your broccoli ready before you start cooking the turkey, and everything flows smoothly.
  • If you like things extra saucy, double the glaze recipe and drizzle extra over the finished bowls.
