Equipment

  • skillet
  • wok
  • small bowl

Ingredients
  

For the Stir-Fry

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or sesame oil
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 thinly sliced red bell pepper
  • 1 head broccoli cut into small florets
  • 2 cups snap peas
  • 1 cup sliced carrots (or matchstick carrots)

For the Sauce

  • ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon cold water

Optional Garnish & Serving

  • Sesame seeds for garnish
  • cooked brown rice or quinoa for serving

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Chop all vegetables, mince garlic, and grate ginger. Whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and cornstarch slurry in a small bowl, then set aside.

Cooking

  • Heat olive or sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned, then drain any excess fat.
  • Push turkey to one side, add chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, stir for 30 seconds, then mix with the turkey.
  • Add broccoli florets and sliced carrots to the pan and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.
  • Add red bell pepper and snap peas, then pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over everything. Toss for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats all ingredients.

Serving

  • Remove from heat immediately. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired, and serve hot over brown rice or quinoa.

Notes

Feel free to customize the vegetables based on what you have available or prefer. For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic and ginger. Make sure not to overcook the vegetables to keep them crisp-tender.
