Chef's Note

For maximum flavor, let the ground turkey marinate in half of the ginger sauce for 10 minutes before cooking if time permits. This stir-fry is perfect for weight loss as it's packed with protein and fiber-rich vegetables while being relatively low in calories. For extra energy, you could serve with a small portion of brown rice or quinoa on the side.

Ingredients

  • 4 oz ground turkey

  • 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger

  • 2 cloves garlic

  • 1 tsp honey

  • 1 tsp rice vinegar

  • 1 tsp cornstarch

  • 2 tbsp water

  • 2 tsp sesame oil

  • 1/2 medium red bell pepper

  • 1 cup broccoli florets

  • 1 medium carrots

  • 1/2 cup snow peas

  • 2 stalks green onions

  • 1 tsp sesame seeds

  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions
  • 1

    Prepare all vegetables: julienne the carrots, slice the bell pepper into thin strips, trim the snow peas, cut broccoli into small florets, and slice green onions diagonally (reserve some for garnish).

  • 2

    Mince 1 tbsp of fresh ginger and 2 cloves of garlic.

  • 3

    In a small bowl, make the ginger sauce by whisking together 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce, minced ginger, minced garlic, 1 tsp honey, and 1 tsp rice vinegar.

  • 4

    In another small bowl, mix 1 tsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp water to create a slurry. Set aside.

  • 5

    Heat 1 tsp sesame oil in a wok or large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

  • 6

    Add 4 oz ground turkey to the hot pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until browned and cooked through.

  • 7

    Transfer the cooked turkey to a plate and set aside.

  • 8

    Add the remaining 1 tsp sesame oil to the same pan. Add broccoli and carrots first, stir-fry for 3 minutes.

  • 9

    Add bell peppers and snow peas, continue to stir-fry for another 2 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.

  • 10

    Return the cooked turkey to the pan with the vegetables.

  • 11

    Pour the ginger sauce over the turkey and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly.

  • 12

    Give the cornstarch slurry a quick stir and add it to the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.

  • 13

    Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste) and toss to combine.

  • 14

    Transfer to a serving plate, garnish with sliced green onions and 1 tsp sesame seeds.
