Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb ground turkey and cook for 5-6 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through.
  2. Step 2: Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger to the turkey. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1 sliced red bell pepper, 2 cups broccoli florets, and 1 julienned large carrot. Cook for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp honey, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes. Pour the sauce into the skillet and toss everything to coat evenly.
  5. Step 5: Cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and garnish with 3 chopped green onions before serving over rice or noodles.
