Spicy Thai Basil Stir-Fry with Ground Turkey (Dairy-Free)
A flavorful and fiery Thai basil stir-fry featuring ground turkey, vibrant vegetables, and a spicy basil sauce. A quick and easy dairy-free lunch option.
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
- 1Heat a 12-inch wok or large skillet over medium-high heat, which is about 375°F (190°C).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 6Add the 1 cup of Thai basil leaves to the wok and stir gently for about 30 seconds, just until the leaves are wilted.
- 7Serve the spicy Thai basil stir-fry hot over the 4 cups of cooked rice.
