Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 4 cups fresh kale, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a kick)
Instructions
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Get it hot, but don’t let it smoke like a burnt-out chef!
- Sauté the Veggies: Toss in the diced onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they’re soft. If you’re not sweating, you’re not cooking hard enough!
- Add the Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Don’t let it burn, or I swear you’ll regret it!
- Cook the Turkey: Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Break it up with a spatula and cook until it’s browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. It should smell divine, not like last week’s leftovers!
- Incorporate the Kale: Add the chopped kale to the skillet. It’s time to get that green goodness in there! Stir it in and let it wilt for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the Sauces: Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir everything together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If it’s bland, you’ve failed the dish—do better!
- Optional Heat: If you like some heat, sprinkle in crushed red pepper flakes to your liking. Spice it up, but don’t overdo it—this isn’t a bloody chili contest!
- Serve: Plate it up and serve hot. This is a dish that looks as good as it tastes, so don’t skimp on presentation!
