Instructions
Preparation
- Prep your ingredients: chop the vegetables, mince garlic, and measure the sauces.
Cooking
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the neutral oil. When shimmering, add the ground turkey and cook until no longer pink, about 5–6 minutes.
- Push the turkey to one side of the pan and add the sliced onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onion softens, about 2–3 minutes.
- Add the mixed vegetables and cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp, about 3–4 minutes.
- Stir in soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil. Toss everything to coat and simmer for 1–2 minutes.
- Season with black pepper and taste to adjust saltiness. Remove from heat, stir in green onions, and garnish with sesame seeds.
Notes
Use room-temperature turkey for even browning. Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if needed. Adjust honey and vinegar to suit your taste.
