Easy

INGREDIENTS:

500g lean ground turkey
2 cups broccoli florets
1 red bell pepper (sliced)
1 cup snap peas
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tsp fresh ginger (grated)
3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp honey
1 tsp cornstarch
2 cups cooked brown rice

INSTRUCTIONS:

Make the sauce. Mix soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, cornstarch, and 2 tbsp water in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
Cook the turkey. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, drizzled with oil. Add ground turkey and break it apart. Cook for 5–6 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Stir-fry the vegetables. In the same pan, add a little more oil. Add garlic and ginger — stir for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add broccoli, bell pepper, and snap peas. Stir fry for 4–5 minutes until tender-crisp.
Combine and sauce. Return the cooked turkey to the pan. Pour the sauce over everything and stir well to coat. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Serve over brown rice. Serve immediately over cooked brown rice. Optional: garnish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions.
