Turkey Stir Fry

We enjoy making stir fry recipes because they’re easy, and there are many ways to switch up the meat and vegetables. It’s one of our favorite ways to use leftover veggies in the fridge and it brings in so many great flavors.

For this recipe, I combine ground turkey with broccoli, onions, and mushrooms for an easy stir fry dinner. Some cashews for crunch and an easy stir fry sauce pull it all together. This recipe is so easy to make because everything can be thrown in a skillet!

Ingredients Needed

Soy Sauce: I prefer to use low sodium, but you can choose your favorite kind.
Ginger: You can use fresh ginger that’s grated or powdered
Cornstarch: This thickens the sauce, and keeps it gluten-free.
Brown Sugar: This is the perfect ingredient to sweeten up the sauce!
Turkey: We use ground turkey for so many recipes, including this great one!
Broccoli Florets: You can use any kind of broccoli you like best!
Mushrooms: Sliced white mushrooms
Onion: I like to use yellow onion but white or sweet onion is fine too.
Cashews for crunch, like I do with cashew chicken

Variations

Stir fry recipes are perfect to use up pantry staples. You can use any vegetable you want – skip the broccoli and use green beans or asparagus, or you can mix and match. You can use your favorite stir fry vegetables like chopped bell peppers, baby corn, snap peas, carrots, or green onions.

Sugar free brown sugar (i.e. Swerve) can be used or swap an equal amount of honey.

We love using ground turkey but you can use ground chicken or ground pork or any other lean protein.

Add some red pepper flakes for a bit of heat, or some sriracha if you like spicy.

Almonds or peanuts would work well instead of cashews (or your favorite nuts)
