Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey 93% lean
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or sesame oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 cup sugar snap peas

Stir-Fry Sauce

  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • Pinch red pepper flakes

For Serving & Garnish

  • Cooked jasmine rice for serving
  • Toasted sesame seeds for garnish
  • Sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Chop all vegetables, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes to make the stir-fry sauce.

Cooking

  • Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey, break it apart, and cook until no longer pink, then drain fat and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, cook the chopped onion for 2-3 minutes until soft. Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Add broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes. Then, add bell peppers and sugar snap peas, continuing to stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  • Return cooked ground turkey to the skillet with the vegetables. Re-whisk the stir-fry sauce and pour it over, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes until thick and evenly coated.

Serving

  • Remove from heat and serve hot over cooked jasmine rice, garnished with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Notes

For extra heat, add more red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha to the sauce. You can substitute other quick-cooking vegetables like snap peas, mushrooms, or carrots.
