Description
Ground Turkey Teriyaki Stir Fry is a quick, healthy, and flavorful weeknight meal combining lean ground turkey, fresh vegetables, and a homemade savory-sweet teriyaki sauce, ready in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
1 lb ground turkey
1 tbsp oil (sesame or vegetable)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp ginger, grated
1 cup broccoli florets
½ cup bell pepper, sliced
½ cup carrots, julienned
¼ cup green onions, chopped (optional)
1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
Teriyaki Sauce:
¼ cup soy sauce (or tamari)
2 tbsp honey (or brown sugar)
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (slurry)
Instructions
- Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey, breaking it up as it cooks until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add garlic, ginger, broccoli, bell pepper, and carrots to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
- In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and cornstarch slurry.
- Pour the sauce over the turkey and vegetables. Stir well and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats everything nicely.
- Serve hot over rice, noodles, or lettuce wraps. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if using.
Notes
Vegetables can be swapped with snap peas, mushrooms, or zucchini.
Add sriracha or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
Serve over cauliflower rice or in lettuce wraps for a lower-carb meal.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat gently in a skillet to keep veggies crisp or use microwave with care.
