  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) ground turkey
  • 2 bell peppers (red and yellow), sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients by slicing the bell peppers, onion, and mincing the garlic. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart, until browned and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Push the turkey to one side of the skillet. Add more oil if needed, then add the sliced peppers, onion, and garlic. Stir-fry until vegetables are tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Mix the cooked turkey back with the vegetables. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil. Stir well and cook for an additional 2 minutes to meld flavors.
  5. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
