Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients : Chop and slice all vegetables so they’re ready to go. Mix the stir-fry sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
- Step 2: Cook the Turkey : Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground or sliced turkey and cook for 4–6 minutes, breaking it apart if using ground meat. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Remove and set aside.
- Step 3: Sauté the Aromatics : In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Step 4: Add the Vegetables : Add bell pepper, broccoli, snap peas, and carrots. Stir-fry for 4–5 minutes until vegetables soften but still have crunch.
- Step 5: Combine Turkey and Sauce : Return turkey to the pan. Pour in the stir-fry sauce and toss to coat everything. Cook for another 2–4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and everything is heated through.
- Step 6: Serve : Serve hot over a bowl of freshly cooked rice. Garnish with green onions.
