Ingredients:
- 1 lb turkey breast, thinly sliced
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside.
- Cook the Turkey: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the turkey slices and stir-fry until they are browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the turkey from the skillet and set aside.
- Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the garlic and ginger, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the asparagus and bell peppers, stir-frying for 3-5 minutes until they are crisp-tender.
- Combine and Sauce: Return the cooked turkey to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the sauce and stir everything together, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the flavors are well combined. If you prefer a thicker sauce, stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook until the sauce has thickened.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the stir-fry from the heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot over rice or noodles.
