Ingredients
  

1 lb ground turkey

2 cups broccoli florets

1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)

1 cup snap peas

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon ginger, minced

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for thickening)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Cooked rice or quinoa (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prep the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside.

    Cook the Turkey: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Use a spatula to break it into smaller pieces as it cooks.

      Add Aromatics: Once the turkey is cooked, add in the minced garlic and ginger, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.

        Vegetable Sauté: Add the sliced onion, broccoli, bell pepper, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes, or until vegetables are tender-crisp.

          Add Sauce: Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the turkey and vegetables. Stir to coat everything evenly. Simmer for about 2-3 minutes.

            Thicken the Sauce: Gradually stir in the cornstarch mixture, letting it bubble for another minute until the sauce thickens. If the sauce gets too thick, add a splash of water.

              Serve: Remove from heat, and serve the stir-fry over cooked rice or quinoa. Garnish with sesame seeds for an extra crunch.
