Description
A quick and customizable stir fry with ground turkey and fresh veggies, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground turkey (93% lean)
- 2 cups mixed veggies (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, snap peas, spinach)
- 2 cloves garlic, grated
- 1 inch ginger, grated
- 3 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp chili flakes or sriracha (optional)
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp neutral oil
- Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep first. Chop the veggies and whisk the sauce ingredients in a bowl, stirring in cornstarch until mixed.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the oil, then add the ground turkey. Season lightly with salt and pepper and brown for 3-5 minutes.
- Push the turkey to the sides and add garlic and ginger in the center, stirring until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Mix everything together.
- Add firmer veggies like carrots and broccoli first, stirring for 2-3 minutes before adding quicker cooking veggies like bell peppers and snap peas. Cook until your preferred tenderness.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the stir fry; it will bubble. Toss to coat and let simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Turn off heat, garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot over rice or noodles.
