Ground Turkey Stir Fry Recipe, Over Salad or Rice

Turkey Ingredients

 1 ½ pounds ground turkey

1 tablespoon ketchup (I prefer the kind with less sugar)

1 ½ tablespoons yellow mustard

2 tablespoons sriracha

½ teaspoon of Worchester sauce

1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

a pinch of garlic salt

a pinch of black pepper
a pinch of paprika

a little soy sauce

1 teaspoon red chile powder


1. Mix ground turkey  with all the above ingredients.

2. Place a pan over medium heat and add a teaspoon of coconut oil.

3. Once hot, add ground turkey and stir occasionally so that the meat cooks evenly. When turkey is almost cooked through add diced cilantro to taste and red pepper flakes.

Stir Fry Ingredients

½ red onion (sliced)

1 green pepper  (sliced)
6 baby bella mushrooms (halved)
1 can of pinto beans ( drained)
a pinch of garlic salt

1 teaspoon of chopped cilantro
-plus the following ingredients for the salad: spinach, olive oil and lemon juice.

1. Saute onions and peppers for 4 minutes in coconut oil.  Add mushrooms and cook for 3 more minutes.

2. Meanwhile in a separate pan, sauté beans over low-medium heat with a pinch of garlic salt and cilantro.

And finally time to assemble dinner

Place a handful of spinach on each serving plate.  Spoon ground turkey and stir fry ingredients on top of spinach.  Drizzle a little bit of olive oil and lemon juice over salad. Top off with a little chopped cilantro, crumbled Cojita cheese and serve.  Can also be served over brown rice.

Note: To save time when I’m making dinners like the one above, I slice onions and peppers every Sunday night and place them in a Tupperware.  Throughout the week I use these pre sliced veggies for stir fries, salads and omelets.
