Description

Discover the quick and healthy ground turkey and peppers stir-fry, a flavorful dish packed with lean protein and colorful vegetables. Perfect for busy weeknights, this easy stir-fry combines tender ground turkey with vibrant bell peppers, garlic, and savory seasonings for a nutritious and delicious meal that everyone will love.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, and green), sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari for a gluten-free option
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil or olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • Optional: crushed red pepper flakes for heat
  • Sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Start by washing and slicing the bell peppers and onion into thin strips. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil or olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
  3. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced onions to the skillet. Stir quickly to release their fragrance.
  4. Add the sliced bell peppers and cook for 5-7 minutes until tender but still slightly crisp.
  5. Pour in the soy sauce or tamari, sprinkle red pepper flakes if desired, and stir to coat the ingredients evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to blend flavors.
  6. Transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot over rice, cauliflower rice, or your preferred grain.

Notes

  • Use lean ground turkey for a healthier meal.
  • Stir-fry vegetables until just tender to keep their vibrant color and crunch.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more soy sauce or spice as desired.
  • For added texture, top with chopped nuts or crispy fried onions.
