- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
Seasonings and Sauces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Serving Suggestions
- Cooked rice or noodles for serving
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the turkey and vegetables evenly.
- Cook the turkey: Add the ground turkey to the hot skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula. Continue cooking until the turkey is browned and fully cooked through.
- Sauté aromatics: Stir in the sliced onion, minced garlic, and ginger. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Cook vegetables: Add the broccoli florets, sliced bell pepper, and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 4-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp, maintaining their vibrant color and texture.
- Add sauces and combine: Pour in soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using). Stir everything thoroughly to coat the turkey and vegetables evenly. Let cook for 2 more minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Season and finish: Taste the stir fry and season with salt and pepper according to your preference. Remove the skillet from heat once seasoning is adjusted.
- Serve: Serve the ground turkey stir fry hot over cooked rice or noodles for a satisfying and balanced meal.
Notes
- Oyster sauce is optional but adds a rich umami flavor; substitute with hoisin sauce or additional soy sauce if preferred.
- To keep the dish gluten-free, use tamari or gluten-free soy sauce.
- Adjust the vegetable mix to your liking; snap peas or mushrooms also work well.
- For extra heat, add red pepper flakes or a dash of chili sauce while stir-frying.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
