Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) turkey breast, thinly sliced
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup chicken broth (or water)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thicker sauce)
- Sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions
- In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced turkey and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the turkey from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
- Add the zucchini and bell pepper to the pan. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, grated ginger, honey, chicken broth (or water), and cornstarch if using. Pour the mixture into the pan with the vegetables.
- Return the cooked turkey to the pan, stirring to combine all the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the turkey and vegetables.
- Serve the turkey and zucchini stir-fry over cooked rice or noodles, garnished with sliced green onions. Enjoy!
