• 3 oz spinach (two large handfuls)
• 3 Tbsp TF MCT Oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Tools You’ll Need:

Instructions:

1. Prep the Ingredients:
   Slice the bell peppers into thin strips, chop the green onions, and mince the garlic. Set aside.
2. Cook the Turkey:
   Heat 2 Tbsp of TF MCT oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Break up the turkey with a spatula as it cooks.
3. Sauté the Vegetables:
   Push the cooked turkey to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining 1 Tbsp of TF MCT oil to the other side, then add the bell peppers, green onions, and minced garlic. Sauté the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
4. Add the Spinach:
   Toss the spinach into the skillet and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
5. Mix in the Sauce:
   In a small bowl, whisk together the low sodium soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, maple syrup, red pepper flakes (if using), and water. Pour the sauce over the turkey and vegetables in the skillet. Stir everything together to ensure even coating.
6. Simmer and Serve:
   Let the stir-fry simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve hot over rice, quinoa, or your favorite grain.
