If you’re short on time and don’t feel like thinking about dinner… this one’s a go-to.
Best of all… you’ll have plenty of leftovers!
Plus, who doesn’t love a good stir-fry 😋
Below is the “basic” recipe, but swap in whatever veggies or protein(s) you want.
Easy Meat + Veggie Stir-Fry
(makes 4 servings)
● 1 tbsp sesame oil (or olive oil)
● 1 lb ground turkey (or chicken / beef / shrimp)
● 1–2 cloves garlic, minced
● 1–2 tsp grated fresh ginger (or ½ tsp dried)
● 1 red bell pepper, sliced
● 1 cup snap peas
● 2 tbsp coconut aminos
● 1½ cups cooked rice
● Optional toppings: sesame seeds, green onions, sriracha, lime wedges
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add meat and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through.
Add garlic and ginger and stir for 1–2 minutes. Toss in the bell peppers and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes, until just tender.
Add coconut aminos and stir to combine.
Serve over warm rice and top with your favorite add-ons!
Hope you love it!
