Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 2 bell peppers (preferably red and yellow), sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional for extra umami)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (e.g., canola or vegetable oil)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions, sliced for garnish
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Start by washing and slicing the bell peppers and onion. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger, then set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add a little more oil if necessary. Sauté the sliced onions and bell peppers for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
- Return the cooked turkey to the skillet with the vegetables. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil. Toss until well coated and heated through, about 2-3 minutes. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Notes
- Feel free to use different colored bell peppers for variety.
- You can substitute tamari or coconut aminos for soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
