Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (broccoli, bell peppers, snap peas, etc.)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger

Instructions
- Make the Teriyaki Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, orange zest, garlic, and ginger until well combined.
- Cook the Turkey: In a large skillet or wok, heat the skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground turkey. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.
- Add the Vegetables: Once the turkey is cooked, add the mixed vegetables to the skillet. Stir-fry everything together for another 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Combine with Sauce: Pour the teriyaki sauce over the turkey and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Serve: Serve the stir fry hot over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
