Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 2 bell peppers any color, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
