Ginger-Soy Turkey Stir-Fry

Serves 4 Grill 20 minutes, plus 20 minutes to marinate

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs turkey stew meat (white), cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce, divided
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated, divided
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced, divided
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil (canola or grapeseed)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 3 scallions, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas or broccoli florets
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp silan or honey
  • toasted sesame seeds, for finishing

Method

  1. Toss turkey with 2 tbsp soy sauce, half the ginger, half the garlic and the cornstarch; let marinate 20 minutes.
  2. Whisk remaining soy sauce, remaining ginger and garlic, rice vinegar, silan and 2 tbsp water in a small bowl to make the stir-fry sauce.
  3. Heat neutral oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until shimmering.
  4. Add turkey in a single layer and sear without moving for 1-2 minutes, then stir-fry until browned and just cooked through, about 3-4 minutes; remove.
  5. Add bell pepper and snap peas to the pan and stir-fry 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender.
  6. Return turkey to the pan, pour in the sauce, and toss constantly until it thickens and coats everything, 1-2 minutes.
  7. Drizzle with sesame oil and toss once more.
  8. Finish with scallions and sesame seeds; serve immediately over rice.

Chef's tip

Keep the heat high and the pieces moving - stir-fry is a fast, hot technique, and a crowded or lukewarm pan will steam the turkey instead of searing it.
