Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, green), sliced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or preferred cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preparing the Ingredients: Slice bell peppers into thin strips, dice the onion, and mince garlic and ginger. Prepare all ingredients beforehand for a smooth cooking process.
- Cooking the Ground Turkey: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Break up the meat with a spatula as it cooks, then remove and set aside.
- Sautéing the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add more oil if needed and sauté onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant (about 2 minutes). Add peppers and cook for another 5-7 minutes until tender but still crisp.
- Combining and Flavoring: Return ground turkey to the skillet, add soy sauce and red pepper flakes if desired. Stir well and cook for 2 more minutes to meld flavors.
- Serving: Garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions. Serve hot over rice or noodles. For a healthier option, serve over cauliflower rice.
Notes
- Adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce or spices as desired.
- Use fresh vegetables for the best flavor and texture.
- For extra heat, add more red pepper flakes or fresh chili.
- This stir-fry can be stored in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
