Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari/coconut aminos)
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth or water
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch (or arrowroot)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (or 1/2 teaspoon ground)
  • 1–2 teaspoons sriracha or 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil (avocado, canola, or peanut)
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup carrots, thinly sliced or matchsticks
  • 1 small zucchini, half-moons
  • 1 cup sugar snap peas (or frozen mixed veggies)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Sesame seeds for garnish
  • Cooked rice or noodles, for serving
  • Lime wedges, optional

Instructions

  1. Whisk together soy sauce, broth, rice vinegar, honey, cornstarch, sesame oil, ginger, and sriracha in a small bowl. Set aside.
  2. Prep all veggies for quick cooking: slice peppers and zucchini, cut broccoli, and mince garlic.
  3. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add oil and ground turkey with a pinch of salt. Cook for 4–5 minutes until browned, then transfer to a plate.
  4. Add onion, carrots, and broccoli to the same pan. Stir fry for 2–3 minutes until slightly tender.
  5. Add bell pepper, zucchini, and snap peas; stir fry for 2–3 minutes more. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Return turkey to the pan and pour in the sauce. Cook over medium-high heat until the sauce thickens, about 1–2 minutes.
  7. Taste and adjust salt, heat, or sweetness. Turn off heat and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot over rice or noodles with a squeeze of lime, if desired.
