Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams extra-lean minced turkey or chicken
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 large red bell pepper, diced
- 150 grams broccoli florets
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 100 grams snow peas, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Heat a large non-stick wok or skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 2 minutes or until it starts to become translucent.
Add the minced garlic and fresh ginger to the pan, stirring frequently for another minute until fragrant.
Increase the heat to high and add the minced turkey or chicken. Stir often to break the meat apart, cooking until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Once the meat is cooked, add the diced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, julienned carrot, and snow peas. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp.
Pour the low-sodium soy sauce over the mixture and stir in the red pepper flakes and ground black pepper, ensuring everything is well coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Allow the stir-fry to cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with a side of brown rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
