Ingredients

Scale

Stir Fry Sauce

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 Tbsp water

Stir Fry

  • 2 bell peppers
  • 4 green onions
  • 2 oz. spinach (two large handfuls, or 1/4 of an 8oz. bag)
  • 2 Tbsp cooking oil of choice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 19 oz. ground turkey

For Serving

  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
  • 2.5 cups cooked brown rice

Instructions

  • Make the Stir Fry Sauce: In a small bowl, stir together soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, brown sugar, red pepper flakes (optional), and water. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved. Set the sauce aside.
  • Prepare the Vegetables: Dice the bell peppers and slice the green onions.
  • Cook the Ground Turkey: Heat the cooking oil in a very large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the ground turkey and minced garlic. Stir and cook for about 8-10 minutes, until the turkey is fully cooked and no water remains pooling at the bottom of the skillet.
  • Add the Vegetables: Once the turkey is cooked and the moisture has evaporated, add the bell peppers and green onions to the skillet. Stir and cook for about 2 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly.
  • Add the Spinach: Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, just until it is half-wilted.
  • Pour in the Stir Fry Sauce: Pour the prepared stir fry sauce into the skillet. Stir everything together to ensure the turkey and vegetables are evenly coated with the sauce. Continue cooking for about 2 minutes, until the spinach is fully wilted and everything is well-coated in the sauce.
  • Serve: Serve about 1 cup of the stir fry mixture with 1/2 cup cooked brown rice. Top with a sprinkle of chopped peanuts for added crunch.
