Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil plus more if necessary
- 1 to 2 tablespoons sesame oil or as desired
- 1 large sweet Vidalia onion diced small (or use thinly sliced green onions OR onion powder, based on what you have)
- 1 pound extra lean ground turkey (ground chicken, ground pork sausage, or ground beef may be substituted)
- 1 orange bell pepper seeded and diced small
- 1 yellow bell pepper seeded and diced small
- 1 ½ cups baby carrots halved
- ⅓ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce or as desired
- 1 to 2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce or as desired (start with 1 teaspoon if you're sensitive to heat and work up from there, or dried chili flakes may be used)
- 1 large zucchini diced into bite-sized pieces
- 1 large broccoli crown diced into bite-sized florets (or use frozen broccoli that you first steam according to package directions)
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- To a large and high-sided skillet, add the oils (if using a nonstick skillet, you should be able to use much less oil, or none) onion, and saute over medium-high heat for about 4 minutes, or until onion is beginning to soften; stir frequently.
- Add the turkey, peppers, carrots, and cook over medium-high heat for about 7 minutes, or until turkey is cooked through and vegetables are crisp-tender. Crumble and stir the turkey as it cooks to ensure even cooking.
- Add the soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, and stir to incorporate evenly.
- Add the zucchini, broccoli, stir to combine, and cover the skillet with a lid to encourage the broccoli to steam. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until broccoli is as tender as desired.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
