Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground Turkey
  • 1 cup Thai Basil
  • 1 medium Bell Pepper
  • 1 medium Onion
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 1-3 small Thai Chilies
  • 3 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 2 tbsp Oyster Sauce (Dairy-Free)
  • 1 tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Lime Juice
  • 4 cups Rice

Instructions

  1. 1Heat a 12-inch wok or large skillet over medium-high heat, which is about 375°F (190°C).
  2. 2Add the 1 lb of ground turkey to the hot wok and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is browned all over, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess fat.
  3. 3Add the 1 medium onion (cut into 1/2-inch pieces), the 1 medium bell pepper (cut into 1/2-inch pieces), the 3 cloves of garlic (minced), and the 1-3 small Thai chilies (thinly sliced) to the wok with the turkey. Stir and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp, meaning they have softened but still have a slight bite.
  4. 4Pour in the 3 tbsp of soy sauce, the 2 tbsp of dairy-free oyster sauce, the 1 tbsp of brown sugar, and the 1 tbsp of lime juice. Stir everything together well.
  5. 5Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
  6. 6Add the 1 cup of Thai basil leaves to the wok and stir gently for about 30 seconds, just until the leaves are wilted.
  7. 7Serve the spicy Thai basil stir-fry hot over the 4 cups of cooked rice.
