This easy ground turkey stir fry has all the complex, savory-sweet flavor you love in a good Asian stir fry but with minimal effort on your part.

Great flavor aside, the allure of a stir fry recipe is that it comes together quickly<\/strong>. But even the quickest ones require some<\/em> prep work\u2014chopping veggies, mincing garlic, dicing meat\u2026Not this one. This ground turkey stir fry is as quick as it\u2019s ever gonna get and yet it tastes as good as the best of them. Just pop a pound of ground turkey in a frying pan, cook it through, and stir in a straightforward sauce made with soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and a little cornstarch to aid in thickening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two workhorses at creating big flavor with minimal effort on your part are hoisin sauce and toasted sesame oil. If you\u2019re not familiar with hoisin, it\u2019s a thick, salty-sweet sauce that\u2019s commonly used in Chinese cuisine. The great thing about it is that a little goes a long way to provide complex savory flavor without a ton of other ingredients. The toasted sesame oil is just as powerful, infusing the sauce with warm, nutty sesame flavor. Don\u2019t skip it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
