Ingredients

• 400 grams Lean ground turkey or chicken (93% lean or higher)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, freshly grated
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 200 grams Broccoli florets
• 100 grams Baby spinach
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 200 grams Cooked brown rice or quinoa (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all the vegetables by dicing the red bell pepper, julienning the carrot, and cutting the broccoli into bite-sized florets.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and black pepper. Set the sauce aside.

Step 3

Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the surface.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, stirring continuously for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the lean ground turkey or chicken to the skillet. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the meat is fully cooked and no longer pink. Break up any clumps with a wooden spoon or spatula.

Step 6

Push the cooked meat to one side of the skillet. Add the red bell pepper, carrot, and broccoli to the other side. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3–5 minutes until they start to soften but remain slightly crisp.

Step 7

Stir the cooked meat and vegetables together. Pour the sauce over the mixture and toss everything to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

Step 8

Add the baby spinach to the skillet and stir until it wilts, about 1 minute.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 10

Serve warm on its own or over a bed of cooked brown rice or quinoa. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish if desired.
