Ingredients
1 lb ground turkey
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Cook the ground turkey: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Remove from the pan and set aside.
-
Sauté the vegetables: In the same pan, add the remaining olive oil. Toss in the bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
-
Make the sauce: Push the vegetables to one side of the pan. Add garlic and ginger to the empty side and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes.
-
Thicken the sauce: Stir in the cornstarch slurry, mixing well to combine. Allow the sauce to thicken slightly before returning the cooked turkey to the pan.
-
Combine and serve: Toss everything together until evenly coated in the sauce. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve over brown rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
