For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a subtle kick. If you don't have rice vinegar on hand, you can substitute apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar. Feel free to substitute your favorite vegetables in this stir-fry. Broccoli florets, snow peas, or carrots would all be delicious additions. Make sure not to overcook the vegetables; you want them to retain a bit of crispness. To toast sesame seeds, place them in a dry skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until they are lightly golden and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Watch them closely as they can burn easily.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, brown sugar, sesame oil, and cornstarch until well combined. Set aside. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
Step
6 mins
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and vertically sliced onion. Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside on a plate. (Cook time: 5-6 minutes)
03
Step
7 mins
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until it is lightly browned and cooked through, approximately 5-6 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. (Cook time: 6-7 minutes)
04
Step
2 mins
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Return the cooked vegetables to the skillet with the ground turkey. Give the sauce a good stir to ensure the cornstarch is evenly distributed, then pour it over the meat and vegetables. Stir continuously until everything is well coated with the sauce, and simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 2 minutes. (Cook time: 2 minutes)
05
Step
2 mins
Taste the stir-fry and adjust the seasoning as needed with additional soy sauce, lime juice, or brown sugar to achieve your desired flavor profile. Garnish generously with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately over rice or noodles. (Finishing time: 2 minutes)
