Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the ground turkey, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the onion, garlic, bell pepper, zucchini, and carrot to the pan. Stir and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Pour the sauce mixture over the turkey and vegetables, stirring to combine. Simmer for 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the turkey mixture over rice or cauliflower rice and garnish with cilantro and peanuts if desired.
Store in meal prep containers for up to 4 days in the fridge.

Notes

For a spicier dish, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add chili paste.
Feel free to swap out the veggies for others you have on hand, such as broccoli or snow peas.
If you prefer, use ground chicken or beef as a substitute for turkey.
This recipe can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for easy meal prep throughout the week.
