Ingredients
  

1 lb ground turkey

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)

1 cup broccoli florets

1 medium carrot, julienned

3 cloves garlic, minced

1-inch piece of ginger, minced

1/4 cup soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (optional for thickening)

2 green onions, chopped

Sesame seeds for garnish

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

    Cook the Turkey: Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with a little salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the turkey and set aside.

      Sauté the Veggies: In the same skillet, add the sliced bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

        Add Garlic and Ginger: Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.

          Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked ground turkey to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar. Stir well to coat all the ingredients.

            Thicken the Sauce (optional): If you like a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl, then add it to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring, until the sauce thickens.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve warm over rice, quinoa, or in lettuce wraps.
