A quick and delicious one-pan stir-fry recipe made with ground turkey, earthy green asparagus, and sweet bell pepper in a flavourful soy sauce-based sauce.

Ingredients

For the stir-fry:

1½ tbsp vegetable oil
1lb. lean ground turkey
1 bunch asparagus (10-12 stalks), remove woody ends and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
2 garlic cloves, minced
1-inch fresh ginger, minced
¾ cup green onions, chopped

For the sauce:

½ cup chicken broth (low sodium or no salt added)
3 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp oyster sauce (can substitute with hoisin sauce)
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tsp rice vinegar
¼ tsp sesame oil

Serve with:

Cooked Rice

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients: chicken broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until well-combined. Set aside.
In a large sauté pan or skillet (I use a 12-inch cast-iron skillet) at medium-high heat, pour in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and then add the ground turkey. Break down the turkey into small pieces until it is fully cooked through. Place the turkey into a bowl. Set aside.
Pour in the remaining half tablespoon of vegetable oil along with the asparagus and bell pepper into the pan. Sauté until they just begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Add in the garlic and ginger and sauté for another minute. Return the ground turkey to the pan.
Pour the sauce into the pan (you may need to whisk the sauce again to re-incorporate the ingredients first). Carefully toss all the ingredients together to make sure the sauce evenly coats the ground turkey and vegetables, about 2-3 minutes or until all the ingredients are heated through.
Top with green onions and serve over rice. Enjoy!
