Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) ground turkey

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)

1 medium carrot, julienned

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup snap peas, trimmed

4 green onions, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

3 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium)

1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon cornstarch (mixed with 2 tablespoons of water)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Cooked jasmine rice or quinoa, for serving

Sesame seeds and cilantro, for garnish

Instructions
 

Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

    Sauté Garlic and Ginger: Push the turkey to one side of the skillet and add the minced garlic and ginger to the empty space. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

      Add Vegetables: Add the sliced bell pepper, julienned carrot, broccoli florets, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry everything together for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

        Incorporate Sauces: Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil. Stir well to combine. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes.

          Thicken the Sauce: Add the cornstarch mixture to the skillet and stir until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if necessary.

            Finish and Garnish: Stir in chopped green onions just before removing from heat. Serve the stir-fry over cooked jasmine rice or quinoa, and garnish with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro.
