# Directions:
01 - Prepare all vegetables and measure out sauce ingredients before starting to cook.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5–6 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
03 - In the same pan, add a touch more oil if needed. Sauté garlic, ginger, and green onions for 1 minute until fragrant.
04 - Add broccoli florets, red bell pepper, and carrot. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
05 - Return the cooked turkey to the pan. Whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, and red pepper flakes. Pour over the turkey and vegetables. Stir well to combine.
06 - If a thicker sauce is desired, add the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1–2 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
07 - Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot over rice or noodles, garnished with sesame seeds and extra green onions if desired.
