Ingredients
  

1 pound ground turkey

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 cup broccoli florets

1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)

1 carrot, thinly sliced

1 cup snap peas

3 green onions, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 inch fresh ginger, grated

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water

Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

    Add in the ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

      Once the turkey is cooked, push it to one side of the skillet, and add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the other side. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

        Stir in the broccoli, bell pepper, carrot, and snap peas. Cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender yet crisp.

          In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch mixture. Pour this sauce over the turkey and vegetables in the skillet.

            Mix everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats all the ingredients.

              Remove from heat and stir in the chopped green onions.

                Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds, over steamed rice or noodles if desired.
