Quick & Flavorful Turkey and Bell Pepper Stir-Fry Feast

Preparing the Ingredients

Start by washing and slicing the bell peppers and onions. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger, ensuring all ingredients are ready for quick cooking.

Cooking the Ground Turkey

Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the cooked turkey from the skillet and set aside.

Sautéing Vegetables

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil. Toss in the sliced onions and bell peppers. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Combining and Saucing

Return the cooked ground turkey to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the soy sauce and oyster sauce if using. For a thicker sauce, add the cornstarch slurry. Stir everything together, cook for another 2-3 minutes until well combined and heated through.

4. Storage Tips for Leftover Turkey Pepper Stir-Fry

Allow the stir-fry to cool before transferring it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply microwave or stir-fry in a skillet until hot. For best texture, avoid freezing as the vegetables may become soggy.
