Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 yellow onion (medium, chopped)
- 2 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cup carrots (pre-shredded or julienned)
- 1 cup snap peas (halved)
- 8 ounce ramen noodles (flavor packets discarded)
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart, until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Add 1 chopped yellow onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Pour the sauce over the turkey and vegetables, stirring until it thickens slightly, about 1 to 2 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Add 3 cups pre-shredded carrots and 1 cup halved snap peas to the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until vegetables are tender-crisp.
- While the vegetables cook, prepare the 8 ounces ramen noodles according to package directions, draining well. Add the cooked ramen noodles directly to the skillet and toss everything together to coat evenly in the sauce.
- Garnish with 1/4 cup fresh cilantro if desired and serve hot.
Notes
