Ingredients
1 lb ground turkey
2 tbsp coconut aminos
1 tbsp coconut sugar
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
1 tbsp garlic, minced
2 cups broccoli florets
1 cup carrot matchsticks
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
Green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat
Add ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until browned and no longer pink, 5-7 minutes
Add garlic and ginger; sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant
Stir in coconut aminos, coconut sugar, and apple cider vinegar; mix well and let simmer for 2 minutes
Add broccoli and carrots to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp
Reduce heat to low and simmer for another 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the turkey and vegetables
Season with black pepper
Serve topped with sesame seeds and green onions if desired

Coconut aminos can be substituted with tamari for a soy sauce alternative
Use any quick-cook vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas
