This ground turkey stir fry with vegetables has a flavor-packed sauce, and is on the table in 30 minutes. We enjoy ours with rice or noodles for a quick weeknight dinner.

  • Ingreadient
    • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce

    • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

    • 1 tablespoon lime juice

    • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

    • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

    • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

    Ground Turkey and Veggies:
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

    • 2 cups sliced baby bella mushrooms

    • 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced

    • 1/2 green bell pepper, sliced

    • 1/2 small onion, peeled and sliced vertically

    • 1 pound ground turkey

    • 2 cloves garlic, minced

    • sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Direction

  1. Whisk soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, brown sugar, sesame oil, and cornstarch together in a small bowl; set aside.

  2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, red and green bell peppers, and onion, and cook just until vegetables are tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove to a plate.

  3. Add the remaining tablespoon oil to the skillet. Add ground turkey and cook, breaking up the meat into chunks with a spatula, until lightly browned and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

  4. Reduce heat to medium-low, return vegetables to the skillet, give sauce a good stir, and pour over meat and veggies. Stir until everything is well coated, and simmer until the sauce is thickened slightly, about 2 minutes.

  5. Taste, and adjust seasoning. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
