    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.

    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.

    You don’t need any fancy equipment, either. Traditionally, stir-fries are made in a wok, but a large skillet works great.

    In this post, we cover how to stir fry ground turkey with veggies, so it’s all cooked perfectly. You don’t need to worry about mushy vegetables with this recipe – they come out crisp-tender and are really delicious.

    Ingredients

    • Water
    • Low-sodium soy sauce
    • Ground ginger
    • Cornstarch
    • Brown sugar
    • Cooking spray
    • Ground turkey
    • Olive oil

    How to Make Ground Turkey Stir Fry

    Make the Sauce: Combine the water, soy sauce, ginger, cornstarch, and brown sugar in a bowl.

    Brown the Turkey: Coat a large skillet with cooking spray and brown the turkey over medium heat. Once it’s cooked through, remove it from the skillet to a plate.

    Stir Fry the Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in the same skillet and add the broccoli and onions. Once the onions are softened, add the mushrooms and garlic and cook them for three to five minutes.

    Combine and Add the Sauce: Add the cooked ground turkey and nuts and stir to combine. Add the sauce and cook the stir fry for two minutes or until the sauce is thickened.

    Ground Turkey Stir Fry Recipe Variations

    Meat: Use ground chicken, pork, or lean ground beef instead of ground turkey.

    Veggies: You can use your favorite stir fry vegetables like chopped bell peppers, baby corn, snap peas, carrots, or green onions.

    Nuts: Almonds or peanuts would work well instead of cashews.

    Sides Dishes: We like this ground turkey stir fry over cooked brown or white rice. It’s also great with cauliflower rice, or try it with your favorite stir fry noodles.

    Make-Ahead and Storage Tips

    Ground turkey broccoli stir fry is great to make ahead because it keeps well in the refrigerator for several days.

    Make the dish as instructed and allow it to cool before storing it in airtight meal prep containers. Keep them in the refrigerator for three to four days.

    Reheat them in the microwave or warm the stir fry in a skillet on the stove for easy lunches and dinners.
