  • 2 cups Bell Peppers (assorted colors) chopped
  • 1 medium Onion sliced
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp Ginger fresh and grated
For the Teriyaki Sauce

Equipment

  • large skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by washing and chopping your bell peppers into bite-sized pieces, slicing the onion thinly, and mincing both the garlic and ginger. This preparation should take about 10 minutes.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat for about 1 minute. Once hot, add the ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the turkey is browned and cooked through.
  3. Next, stir in the sliced onions, chopped bell peppers, minced garlic, and ginger into the skillet. Sauté the mixture for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  4. While the vegetables are cooking, mix together the soy sauce, honey, and cornstarch until smooth. Once the veggies are just right, pour this sauce mixture over the turkey and vegetables in the skillet.
  5. Stir everything together, ensuring the sauce coats all the ingredients evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and bubble.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat and transfer your delicious stir-fry to plates or bowls. This meal is best enjoyed immediately, served over fluffy rice or noodles.
