Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Oil

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or sesame oil)

Vegetables

  • 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snap peas (or green beans)
  • 1 carrot, sliced thinly
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, grated or minced

Sauce and Seasoning

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch, mixed with 1 tablespoon water (for thickening)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Serving and Garnish

  • Cooked rice or noodles, for serving
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Wash and slice all vegetables as indicated. Have them ready to go, as stir-frying is a quick cooking process.
  2. Cook the Turkey: In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it is browned and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Add Vegetables: Add the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, snap peas, and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce and oyster sauce if using. Pour this sauce over the turkey and vegetables. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Serve: Remove from heat and serve the stir-fry over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • Use sesame oil instead of olive oil for a more authentic Asian flavor.
  • Oyster sauce is optional but adds a rich umami taste.
  • Adjust the amount of soy sauce to control the sodium content.
  • Use fresh ginger and garlic for the best flavor.
  • Vegetables can be substituted based on preference or seasonal availability.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed jasmine rice or any noodles of your choice.
