Ingredients You’ll Need

Before you get started, gather these simple ingredients:

For the Stir Fry Sauce:

  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon oil (like avocado or olive oil)

For the Stir Fry:

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 cup chopped broccoli
  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped (red, yellow, or green)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Optional: 1 scoop Sandhu’s Bovine Colostrum with Collagen

For Serving:

  • Cooked rice noodles, brown rice, or cauliflower rice

How to Make It

  1. Mix the Sauce
    In a small bowl, stir together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and oil. Set aside.
  2. Cook the Turkey
    Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground turkey and cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking it apart until fully cooked. Set aside.
  3. Cook the Veggies
    In the same skillet, add broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers. Sauté for 5–6 minutes until slightly tender. Add a splash of water if needed.
  4. Combine Everything
    Return the turkey to the skillet. Pour in the sauce and stir well. Cook for another 2–3 minutes so everything blends nicely.
  5. Optional Add-In
    Mix in 1 scoop of Sandhu’s Bovine Colostrum with Collagen powder. It blends easily and pairs well with warm dishes.
  6. Serve
    Serve hot over brown rice, rice noodles, or cauliflower rice. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Make It Your Own
