Ground Turkey Stir Fry

It may look like a long list of veggies, but you can use similar vegetables that you have in the refrigerator.  We call this the “end of the week clean out the fridge stir fry”.  You could also serve this over rice, but the roasted yam version is sooooo good!

(modification of original recipe from Frugal Nutrition)

Serves 4

• 2 small yams (or sweet potatoes), peeled and ½ inch diced (about 2 cups)
• 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
• ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 pound ground turkey breast (or ground chicken breast)
• 2 tablespoons Bragg Liquid Amino (or low sodium soy sauce) (DIVIDED)
• 1 ½ teaspoon chili powder (DIVIDED)
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• ½ medium onion, sliced into wedges
• 1 cup broccoli, chopped
• ½ cup carrots, julienned or cut into match sticks
• ½ cup red bell pepper, cut into ¼ inch slices
• 3 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 4 cups bok choy, chopped (or baby spinach)
• 2 teaspoons reduced sodium & sugar rice wine vinegar
• ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 green onions/scallions, chopped (garnish)
• ½ teaspoon sesame seeds (garnish)

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Place diced yams on foil lined sheet pan.  Toss yams with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Roast for 25 minutes or until lightly browned and yams are tender.  Set aside and keep warm.

Heat large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.  Add turkey, crumble and brown stirring occasionally.  Add 1 tablespoon liquid aminos and 1 teaspoon chili powder; stir until turkey is well coated.  Remove from pan into a medium bowl and set aside.

Add coconut oil to the hot skillet.  Add the mushrooms and onions; sauté until mushrooms are lightly browned and onions are translucent.  Add the broccoli, red pepper and carrots; cook for 5 minutes.  Add the ginger, garlic, bok choy, vinegar, remaining 1 tablespoon liquid aminos, and crushed red pepper flakes.  Cook until bok choy is wilted.  Add cooked turkey back into the skillet and warm for 1 to 2 minutes.

Serve over cooked yams.  Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
