03 - In the same skillet, add oil if needed. Sauté garlic, ginger, and white parts of green onions for 1 minute until fragrant.
04 - Add broccoli, bell pepper, and carrot. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
05 - Return turkey to the skillet. Pour in prepared sauce and toss everything together. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes until vegetables are evenly coated and sauce has thickened.
06 - Remove from heat. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions or cilantro if desired. Serve hot alongside rice or noodles.
