• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 medium onion
• 1 large bell pepper
• 1 medium zucchini
• 1 inch fresh ginger
• 3 units garlic cloves
• 1 large carrot
• 3 units green onions
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preparation Step: Dice the onion, bell pepper, and zucchini. Peel and mince the ginger and garlic. Julienne or grate the carrot. Chop the green onions and set aside for garnish.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and sauté for about 2 minutes until it begins to soften.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet. Stir frequently for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the ground beef or turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

While the meat is cooking, mix the coconut aminos, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.

Step 7

Once the meat is browned, add the diced bell pepper, zucchini, and carrot to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the meat.

Step 8

Pour the coconut aminos mixture over the meat and vegetables. Stir to ensure everything is coated with the sauce.

Step 9

Continue cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle chopped green onions on top for a fresh garnish.

Step 11

Serve hot, and enjoy your Whole30-compliant meal as-is or over cauliflower rice for a complete meal option.
