Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1 pound ground turkey
Vegetables
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
Sauces and Oils
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Serving Suggestion
- 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.
- Cook ground turkey: Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it is fully browned and cooked through.
- Sauté aromatics: Stir in the sliced onion, minced garlic, and minced ginger, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Add vegetables: Add the broccoli florets, sliced bell pepper, and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp and vibrant.
- Add sauces: Pour in the soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using), stirring well to coat the turkey and vegetables evenly. Cook for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Season: Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove the skillet from heat to stop cooking.
- Serve: Serve the stir fry hot over cooked rice or noodles for a complete and satisfying meal.
Notes
- Oyster sauce is optional but adds extra umami flavor; substitute with hoisin sauce for a different twist.
- Use fresh ginger for the best flavor; ground ginger can be used in a pinch but reduce quantity.
- For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce and check oyster sauce ingredients.
- Add chili flakes or fresh chili for a spicy kick.
- Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat nicely in a skillet or microwave.
