Combine 3/4 cup water, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, honey, and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until combined. Bring to a low boil. In a separate bowl, whisk 1/4 cup water and corn starch until fully dissolved. Slowly add this mixture to the saucepan, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat, mix in orange zest, and set aside.

Heat sesame oil in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and sauté for several minutes until softened. Add ground turkey and cook, stirring frequently, until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F), approximately 7–10 minutes.
03 -
Add the broccoli florets and shredded carrots to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are tender and heated through, stirring occasionally.

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the prepared Teriyaki sauce. Simmer for a few minutes until everything is well coated and flavors combine. Serve hot over rice, noodles, or as lettuce wraps.
