instructions
    1

    Start by preparing your vegetables. Slice the bell pepper and carrot into thin strips and cut the broccoli into small florets. Mince the garlic and chop the green onion.

    2

    In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat for about 1 minute.

    3

    Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

    4

    Add the ground turkey and cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart until fully cooked and no longer pink.

    5

    Once the turkey is cooked through, add in the bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot. Stir well and cook for another 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are just tender but still vibrant.

    6

    Pour in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, and 1 teaspoon of chili paste. Stir everything together to ensure the sauce coats all the ingredients evenly.

    7

    Finally, toss in the chopped green onions and give it one last stir. Cook for an additional minute to let the flavors meld together.

    8

    Serve hot over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
