⏱️ 10 min - 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 1 1/2 pounds of ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it is browned and cooked through, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
⏱️ 7 min - 3
Add the 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger to the skillet with the cooked turkey. Stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add the 1/2 sliced yellow onion, 1 sliced red bell pepper, and 2 julienned carrots. Continue to stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender-crisp.
⏱️ 5 min - 4
Add the 8 ounces of chopped kale to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the kale wilts down. Give the prepared stir-fry sauce a quick whisk again, then pour it evenly over the turkey and vegetables.
⏱️ 3 min - 5
Stir continuously until the sauce thickens and evenly coats all of the ingredients, which should take about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.
⏱️ 2 min - 6
