Ingredients

Scale

1 lb lean ground turkey
2 cups mixed bell peppers (1 red, 1 yellow, 1 green), chopped
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
2 tsp olive oil
Black pepper and red pepper flakes to taste

Instructions

Prepare your ingredients by washing and chopping the bell peppers and dicing the onion. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and ginger; cook until fragrant.
Increase heat slightly and add ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink (about 5-7 minutes).
Add chopped bell peppers to the skillet; stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until tender but still crunchy.
Pour in soy sauce and season with black pepper and red pepper flakes; stir well for another 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and serve over steamed rice or noodles.
