Ground Turkey Stir-fry

Ingredients

• 1¼ lb ground turkey
• 4 cup broccoli florets
• 2 carrots
• 1 red bell pepper
• ½ yellow onion
• 3 clove garlic
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger
• ⅓ cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp water
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• 4 cup cooked rice (optional)
• 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)

Steps

1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water to create the stir-fry sauce. Set aside.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
3. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
4. Stir in broccoli florets, sliced carrots, and diced red bell pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender-crisp.
5. Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the turkey and vegetables. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
6. Serve immediately over cooked rice, if desired, and garnish with sesame seeds.
