  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, or green), sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: red pepper flakes for spice

Instructions

  1. Start by slicing the bell peppers and onion, mincing the garlic, and grating the ginger. This prep work ensures a smooth cooking process.
  2. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a splash of oil and cook the ground turkey until browned and cooked through. Break it apart with a spatula as it cooks.
  3. Once the turkey is cooked, push it to one side of the skillet. Add a little more oil if needed, then sauté the onions and bell peppers until tender but still crisp.
  4. Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the soy sauce and add sesame oil, mixing everything well to coat the ingredients evenly.
  5. Season with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes to taste. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors. Serve hot over rice or noodles for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Use lean ground turkey for a healthier option.
  • Adjust the spice level with red pepper flakes or hot sauce.
  • For added texture, sprinkle sesame seeds on top before serving.
  • Prepare rice or noodles in advance to speed up dinner time.
