Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground turkey
- 2 cups bell peppers (1 red, 1 yellow, 1 green), sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
1. Gather all ingredients and tools; you’ll need a large skillet or wok.
2. Heat olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and cook until browned, about 5–7 minutes.
3. Add minced garlic and grated ginger; sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Toss in sliced bell peppers and onions. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until vegetables are tender yet crisp.
5. Pour in soy sauce and sprinkle red pepper flakes; mix well and let simmer for another minute.
6. Finish with a drizzle of sesame oil before serving.
Notes
For extra depth of flavor, add a splash of rice vinegar or a dash of hoisin sauce.
Use any combination of bell peppers you have on hand—orange or purple work too.
Serve over rice, noodles, or in lettuce wraps for a low-carb option.
Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and are great for meal prep.
