Ingredients:
- 1 lb lean ground turkey (93/7 blend)
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup sugar snap peas, trimmed
- 1 medium zucchini, halved and sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 3 tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp cornstarch
Instructions:
- Prep the aromatics. Mince 3 cloves garlic and grate 1 tbsp fresh ginger.
- Whisk the sauce. Combine 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tsp cornstarch in a bowl. Mix until the cornstarch disappears.
- Heat the skillet. Add 2 tbsp avocado oil to a large pan over medium high heat. Wait until the oil shimmers and barely wisps smoke.
- Brown the turkey. Add 1 lb lean ground turkey, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp pepper. Let it sit undisturbed for 2 minutes to develop a crust before breaking it up.
- Remove the meat. Once cooked through and browned, transfer the turkey to a plate.
- Sauté the firm veggies. Toss in the sliced red bell pepper and 1 cup sugar snap peas. Cook for 3 minutes until bright and slightly charred.
- Add the zucchini. Stir in the sliced zucchini half moons. Cook for 2 minutes until they just begin to soften.
- Infuse the aromatics. Push the veggies to the edges and add the garlic and ginger to the center. Cook for 45 seconds until fragrant.
- Combine and glaze. Return the turkey to the pan and pour the sauce over everything. Stir constantly for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Finish and serve. Once the sauce is bubbling and has thickened into a velvety glaze, remove from heat. Serve immediately while the colors are vibrant.
