Preparation steps

1.

Rinse bell peppers, cut in half, trim and cut into strips. Peel garlic and chop finely. Rinse turkey breast under cold water, pat dry and cut into strips. Peel ginger and grate. Rinse thyme, shake dry and chop leaves.

2.

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large non-stick pan. Add turkey breast, garlic and ginger and cook until golden brown over medium heat, turning frequently. Remove from pan and set aside.

3.

Heat the remaining oil in the pan. Add bell peppers and sauté over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Add thyme, season with salt and pepper and deglaze with broth. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has almost completely evaporated, about 5 minutes.

4.

Add turkey mixture back to the pan and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Divide among 4 bowls and serve.

Could I substitute something else for the ginger?
Cyndy from EAT SMARTER's picture
You could substitute the ginger for Allspice. Ginger has a very unique flavor, so your dish will take on a different flavor profile, but will still be delicious.
