Ingredients
1 pound ground turkey (85% lean)
1 cup diced red bell peppers
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 3/4 cups low-sodium canned corn, drained
10 okra pods, sliced
3 medium yellow squash, sliced
Directions
Thoroughly wash your hands with soap and warm water before beginning preparation.
Heat a large frying pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon or spatula as it cooks, until no pink remains and the internal temperature reaches 160°F, approximately 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally for even cooking.
Add the diced red bell peppers, chopped onion, drained corn, sliced okra, and sliced yellow squash to the pan with the cooked turkey.
Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring gently, for about 5 minutes until the vegetables become tender-crisp. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Serve warm.
Comments
All ingredients are standard stir-fry staples available at every Charlotte grocery chain, with no special shopping trips required. Ground turkey runs about $6–8 per pound and the vegetables are inexpensive year-round, putting the cost per serving around $2.50–3.00, which is solid for a protein-plus-vegetable dish. The stated 27 minutes is honest for browning turkey and sautéing six vegetables, though a reader should plan for 35–40 minutes if chopping isn't done ahead; the recipe assumes prep is already finished. This reheats well and easily feeds six people, making it reliable for weeknight family dinners, though it requires moderate attention to keep vegetables tender-crisp rather than mushy or burnt.
