Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the Stir-Fry

  • 1 lb ground turkey lean works best
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or sesame oil
  • 1 medium onion thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 fresh ginger grated
  • 1 head broccoli cut into florets
  • 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas or snow peas
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms cremini or shiitake
  • 1/4 cup chopped cashews for garnish
  • Cooked rice or noodles white, brown, or cauliflower rice
  • Fresh cilantro and green onions chopped, for garnish (optional)

For the Sauce

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce low sodium preferred
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce or hoisin sauce for a vegetarian option
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sriracha or chili garlic sauce adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water or chicken broth

Instructions
 

Sauce Preparation

  • Whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, Sriracha, and cornstarch dissolved in water/broth in a small bowl. Set this aside.

Cooking Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, then add ground turkey and cook until browned; drain excess fat and set aside.
  • Add more oil if needed, then stir-fry sliced onion for 2-3 minutes until soft, followed by minced garlic and grated ginger for another minute until fragrant.
  • Add broccoli and bell pepper to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until crisp-tender; then add snap peas and mushrooms and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • Return the cooked turkey to the skillet with the vegetables, re-whisk the sauce, and pour it over the ingredients; stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until everything is evenly coated and the sauce thickens.
  • Remove from heat and serve hot over rice or noodles, garnishing with chopped cashews, cilantro, and green onions if desired.

Notes

For extra heat, increase the amount of Sriracha or chili garlic sauce. You can easily substitute other vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, or cabbage based on what you have on hand.
