Ingredients
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1.25 pound ground turkey (93% lean)
- 1 red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
- 2 cup broccoli florets
- 1 carrot (large, shredded or thinly sliced)
- 3 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 0.5 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.25 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoon fresh cilantro (chopped)
Instructions
- Cook jasmine rice according to package directions. While rice cooks, prepare the stir-fry.
- In a small bowl, whisk together low-sodium soy sauce, creamy peanut butter, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using) to create the sauce. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
- Add thinly sliced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and shredded carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Stir in minced garlic and grated fresh ginger, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour the prepared peanut-soy sauce over the turkey and vegetables. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats everything.
- Serve the turkey stir-fry immediately over the cooked jasmine rice. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.
Notes
Feel free to use pre-cut frozen stir-fry vegetable mixes for even quicker prep. To reduce sodium, use very low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos.
