  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground ginger (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by washing and slicing the peppers and onion. Mince the garlic and set all ingredients aside for quick access during cooking.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Season with salt, pepper, and ground ginger if using.
  3. Push the cooked turkey to one side of the skillet. Add the sliced onions and peppers to the other side. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp. Stir everything together to combine flavors.
  4. Pour in the soy sauce and minced garlic. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

  • For extra flavor, add a splash of sesame oil or sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes.
  • Feel free to incorporate other vegetables like broccoli or carrots for variety.
