High Protein Ground Turkey Stir Fry

Ingredients

• 1.25 lbs lean ground turkey (93% lean)
• 2 tbsp avocado or vegetable oil, divided
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup snap peas
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 3 green onions, sliced (whites and greens separated)
• 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
• 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water
• 1 tsp sriracha (optional)
• 1 tsp sesame seeds, for garnish
• 3 cups cooked jasmine rice, for serving

Instructions

1. 1

   Whisk the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, sriracha (if using), and cornstarch slurry in a small bowl. Set this sauce next to the stove — stir-fry moves fast.

2. 2

   Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. Add the ground turkey and break into small pieces. Cook 5–6 minutes without stirring constantly so it develops deep brown crust. Transfer to a plate.

3. 3

   Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan. Toss in the broccoli, bell pepper, snap peas, and carrots with a pinch of salt. Stir-fry 3–4 minutes until crisp-tender and slightly charred.

4. 4

   Push the vegetables to one side. Add the ginger, garlic, and white parts of the green onions to the empty space. Cook 30 seconds until fragrant, then toss everything together.

5. 5

   Return the turkey to the pan. Give the sauce a final whisk and pour it over everything. Toss for 60–90 seconds until the sauce thickens into a glossy glaze that coats every bite.

6. 6

   Spoon over jasmine rice and top with green onion tops and sesame seeds. Serve immediately — stir-fry waits for no one.
