Ingredients
  

1 pound ground turkey

2 cups broccoli florets

1 bell pepper (any color), sliced

1 medium carrot, julienned

1 cup snap peas

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon ginger, freshly grated

3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)

1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water (optional, for thickening)

Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare Ingredients: Ensure all vegetables are washed, trimmed, and cut as specified in the ingredient list. This makes the cooking process quick and efficient.

    Cook Turkey: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until browned. Break it up with a spatula as it cooks, ensuring it's evenly browned. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

      Add Aromatics: Once the turkey is cooked, add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

        Stir-Fry Veggies: Add the broccoli florets, sliced bell pepper, and julienned carrot to the turkey in the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp. Then, add the snap peas and continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.

          Flavor It Up: Pour in the soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using). Stir well to coat the turkey and vegetables evenly. If you'd like a thicker sauce, stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook for another minute until the sauce thickens.

            Finish with Sesame Oil: Drizzle sesame oil over the stir-fry and toss to combine. This adds a fantastic nutty flavor to the dish.

              Serve: Serve the turkey and veggie stir-fry over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
