Get to the Point Execution
Brown 1.25 lbs ground turkey with 1 tbsp sesame oil in skillet for 4 minutes, breaking into crumbles.
Add 1 bag (12 oz) fresh stir-fry veggies (broccoli, snap peas, bell peppers) and cook 2 minutes.
Pour in whisked soy sauce, hoisin, ginger, garlic, and cornstarch.
Toss continuously for 2 minutes until sauce is glossy and veggies are tender-crisp.
Step-by-Step Guided Instructions
Heat 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1.25 lbs ground turkey (93/7 lean). Cook for 4 minutes, breaking meat into small crumbles with a spatula until browned.
Allow the meat to sit untouched for 90 seconds initially to develop flavorful brown bits.
Push turkey to one side of the skillet. Add 12 oz fresh stir-fry vegetables (broccoli florets, julienned carrots, snap peas, and bell pepper). Stir-fry over high heat for 2 minutes.
High heat flash-cooks vegetables, retaining crunch and bright color.
In a small bowl, whisk 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, 2 tbsp hoisin sauce, 1 tbsp water, 1 tsp cornstarch, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp grated fresh ginger.
Cornstarch in the sauce slurry activates instantly when contacting the hot skillet surface.
Pour sauce over meat and veggies. Toss vigorously for 90 seconds until sauce reduces into a thick lacquer coating every ingredient. Remove from heat and top with sesame seeds.
Serve immediately over rice or wrapped in crisp butter lettuce cups for low-carb eating.
