Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground turkey
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Yellow bell pepper
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 large Carrot
- 3 stalks Green onion
- 3 units Garlic cloves
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Water
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Sesame seeds
Instructions
Wash and prep all the vegetables. Cut the red and yellow bell peppers into thin strips, slice the carrot into matchsticks, and chop the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces. Slice the green onions thinly and set aside some of the green tops for garnish. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, cornstarch, and water. Stir until the cornstarch dissolves completely and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with salt and black pepper, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the turkey from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Toss in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and carrot to the skillet. Stir fry for 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked ground turkey to the skillet. Pour in the sauce mixture and stir to coat everything evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onion tops and sesame seeds.
Serve hot over rice, quinoa, or noodles for a complete meal.
