weeknight turkey broccoli mushroom stirfry

Next time add carrots and peas, more veggies.

Ingredients (2–3 servings)

• 1 lb ground turkey (or turkey breast, thinly sliced)

• 2 cups broccoli florets

• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (shiitake, cremini, or button)

• 1 small onion, sliced (optional)

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1-inch piece fresh ginger, minced or grated

• 2–3 green onions, sliced

• 2 tbsp vegetable or sesame oil

• For the sauce:

  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar

  • 1 tsp sesame oil

  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup

  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes or sriracha (optional)

  • 1 tsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (to thicken, optional)

  • 1 tsp or so chili crunch

Instructions

1. Prep ingredients: Slice mushrooms, broccoli, onions, garlic, and ginger. Mix sauce ingredients in a small bowl.

2. Cook turkey: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add turkey, season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and mostly cooked through. Remove from pan.

3. Cook vegetables: Add remaining 1 tbsp oil. Toss in garlic and ginger for 30 seconds, then add broccoli, mushrooms, and onion. Stir-fry 4–5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.

4. Combine: Return turkey to the pan. Pour sauce over everything and stir to coat. If using cornstarch, add it here and cook 1–2 minutes until sauce thickens.

5. Finish: Sprinkle sliced green onions and a drizzle of sesame oil. Serve over steamed rice or noodles.

💡 Tips:

• For extra umami, add a splash of fish sauce or a teaspoon of hoisin.

• You can swap mushrooms or broccoli for snap peas, bell peppers, or bok choy.

• High heat is key for stir fry; keep ingredients moving in the pan for that “wok flavor.”
