Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450 g) ground turkey
- 2 large bell peppers (red and yellow), sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: red pepper flakes, chopped green onions, sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Start by cleaning and slicing the bell peppers and onions. Mince the garlic and set all ingredients nearby for quick access during cooking.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Break apart with a spatula for even texture.
- Push the cooked turkey to one side of the skillet. Add minced garlic and sliced onions; cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add sliced peppers and cook for another 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
- Stir everything together, then add soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to meld flavors.
Notes
- Use fresh vegetables for the best flavor and texture.
- Ensure your skillet is hot enough to sear the ingredients properly.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming and keep the ingredients nicely seared.
- Adjust seasonings according to taste, and consider adding a splash of rice vinegar for tanginess.
