A fast, flavorful stir fry featuring ground turkey, fresh bok choy, and a tangy hoisin glaze, perfect for a quick and satisfying weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey (93% lean preferred)
  • 2 cups chopped bok choy (baby or regular, chopped into 1-inch pieces, stalks separated from leaves)
  • 3 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • Optional: 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: mince garlic, grate ginger, slice green onions, and chop bok choy into 1-inch pieces, separating stalks from leaves.
  2. Mix the hoisin glaze by combining hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Stir well and set aside.
  3. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil. When shimmering, add garlic and ginger, stirring quickly until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
  4. Add ground turkey, spreading it out in the pan. Let sear undisturbed for 2 minutes, then stir and cook until no longer pink. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. Add bok choy stalks to the pan and stir frequently for 2-3 minutes, adding a splash of water if needed to help steam and soften.
  6. Add bok choy leaves and stir until just wilted, about 1 minute.
  7. Pour the hoisin glaze over the stir fry and toss to coat evenly. Add red pepper flakes if desired. Cook for another minute to thicken the sauce.
  8. Remove from heat, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

To keep turkey moist, add a splash of chicken broth when cooking bok choy stalks if needed. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper browning. Separate bok choy stalks and leaves to cook them in stages for perfect texture. Adjust hoisin glaze sweetness or saltiness to taste. Fresh garlic and ginger are essential for best flavor. For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Variations include swapping turkey for tofu or lentils for vegetarian options, adding fresh chili for heat, or serving over cauliflower rice for low-carb.
