Ingredients for the Turkey Veggie Stir Fry

For the stir fry:

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or sesame oil
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 small head of broccoli, cut into small florets
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced (optional but recommended)

For the stir fry sauce:

  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional, for heat)

For serving:

  • Cooked rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice
  • Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish

How to Make This Easy Turkey Stir Fry

Step 1: Make the Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and sriracha. Set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Turkey

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until fully cooked and lightly browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Step 3: Stir Fry the Veggies

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil. Toss in the onion and peppers first, and stir fry for 2–3 minutes until they start to soften. Add the broccoli florets and cook another 2–3 minutes until bright green but still crisp.

Step 4: Add Cucumber and Sauce

Stir in the diced cucumber (it stays a little crunchy, so it’s added last for a fresh pop!). Return the cooked turkey to the skillet. Pour the sauce over everything and toss well to coat.

Step 5: Assemble and Serve

Spoon the stir fry over cooked rice or quinoa. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if you like!
