Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey or maple syrup, sriracha (if using), and cornstarch until smooth, then set aside.
  • Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, add ground turkey, and cook, breaking it up, until fully browned; drain excess fat.
  • Push the turkey to one side, add chopped onion to the other side, and sauté for 2-3 minutes; stir in minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Add mixed stir-fry vegetables to the skillet, stir everything together, and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  • Stir the prepared sauce again, pour it evenly over the turkey and vegetables, and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens to a glossy consistency.
  • Remove from heat immediately, serve hot over cooked rice or noodles, and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.

Notes

For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic and ginger. You can customize the vegetables based on what you have on hand or prefer, such as adding snow peas, water chestnuts, or baby corn.
