Ingredients

• 400 grams extra-lean minced turkey or chicken
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 large red bell pepper, diced
• 150 grams broccoli florets
• 1 medium carrot, julienned
• 100 grams snow peas, trimmed
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large non-stick wok or skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 2 minutes or until it starts to become translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and fresh ginger to the pan, stirring frequently for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Increase the heat to high and add the minced turkey or chicken. Stir often to break the meat apart, cooking until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Once the meat is cooked, add the diced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, julienned carrot, and snow peas. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp.

Step 6

Pour the low-sodium soy sauce over the mixture and stir in the red pepper flakes and ground black pepper, ensuring everything is well coated.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Allow the stir-fry to cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 8

Remove from heat and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot with a side of brown rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
