How to Make Ground Turkey Stir Fry 

Easy stir-fry meals are something I truly never get tired of! What’s not to love, after all? You can fit in a ton of vegetables with only a few simple ingredients, and they cook up quickly! They are simpler when you use ground beef because there is no need to chop or slice raw meat (not a fan of this task). The versatility of this ground turkey stir fry makes it even better. Make it hot or mild, with any veggies you have on hand, and serve it over rice or noodles.

How to Serve this Stir Fry

If after you are almost ready to cook you think that something else will go next to you, I recommend you think about a puree, and if a simple puree is maybe… too simple for you, then I recommend you Longhorn Mashed Potatoes. This recipe for Longhorn Mashed Potatoes is a buttery and garlic-flavored way to serve potatoes at home. You can also cook this restaurant-style side dish with more than inexpensive items in less than 1 hour.

Alongside a bowl full of rice is another very fantastic way to serve Ground Turkey Stir Fry. Try the Dill-icious Rice Pea-laf if you want to spice up something a bit more than plain rice but aren’t in the mood for risotto. This is a very simple side dish that goes great with just about any meat. In addition, the only amounts you need to stick to strictly are the rice and liquid. You can adjust the herbs or add in other things like finely diced carrots or slivered almonds if that’s your thing. Make it your own, and I bet you’ll be making this easy rice pilaf every time you prepare ground turkey!

Also, as a healthy cheat, if you want to feel the taste of some fries, I do recommend Crinkle Cut Fries. These cajun-seasoned crinkle-cut fries can be such a family-friendly side dish or snack. Clearly, the easiest method for the best-tasting wavy fries that guarantee absolute crispiness and bold cajun flavor. Not to mention that all the ingredients are dairy-free and vegan. However, they pair wonderfully with the ground turkey stir fry, at least that’s what my boyfriend thinks.

Enjoy Your Full-of Protein Meal!

Now that we are done with the recipe and I’m sure it turned out great, I’m curious to see what other vegetables you want to add.
