Ingredients
  

  • For the Stir Fry
  • 1½ pounds lean ground turkey
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil or olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 2 medium carrots julienned
  • ½ medium onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • For the Teriyaki Sauce
  • ⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Garnish
  • Sliced green onions
  • Sesame seeds optional

Method
 

  1. Whisk together the soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Set aside.
  2. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the ground turkey and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking it apart until browned.
  4. Stir in the onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 1 minute.
  5. Add the carrots, broccoli, bell pepper, and snap peas.
  6. Stir-fry for 5 to 6 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
  7. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the turkey and vegetables.
  8. Stir continuously for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly.
  9. Remove from the heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
  10. Serve immediately over rice, noodles, or cauliflower rice.

Notes

  • Don't overcook the vegetables—they should stay slightly crisp.
  • Fresh ginger adds the best flavor, but ground ginger can be substituted.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to better control the saltiness.
  • Stir the sauce before adding it since the cornstarch settles quickly.
