Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by slicing the bell peppers and onion and mincing the garlic and ginger.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), and cornstarch.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook ground turkey until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease.
- Add more oil to the skillet; sauté onions until softened (3-5 minutes). Add garlic and ginger; cook until fragrant (about 1 minute). Then add bell peppers and stir-fry until tender-crisp (5-7 minutes).
- Return turkey to skillet, pour in sauce, and stir well to coat everything evenly. Simmer for another minute or two until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Serve over warm cooked rice with optional garnishes like sesame seeds or chopped green onions.
