It’s time I finally share one of my favorite easy weeknight meals with you: this Healthy Asian Turkey Stir Fry!
This is something I’ve been making for years, and finally took the time to write out a post with an official recipe to share with you!
I love this recipe for a few reasons:
- it’s veggie loaded
- it’s easy to make
- it’s done in under 30 minutes
- it’s paleo/whole30
- it tastes really, really good.
Once you try it, you’re gonna love it too! It’s the epitome of simple weeknight dinners – which is what I’m ALL about. Let’s get into the details of just how simple it is to make, shall we?
The star of the show here is this Trader Joe’s Healthy 8 Chopped Veggie Mix, which is seriously one of my favorite things to buy from TJ’s! (You can check out The Best Whole30 Trader Joe’s Shopping List to see some of my other favorite things to get there too!)
The mix is a combo of broccoli, carrots, cabbage, jicama, peppers, radish and celery – and while I would’ve never thought to pair those things together on their own – they’re seriously delicious! You’ll need a few other things like coconut aminos, and spices.
How to make Healthy Asian Turkey Stir Fry:
Making healthy asian turkey stir fry is not difficult at all! Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: Heat olive oil in a pan. Brown turkey until thoroughly cooked.
Step 2: Once turkey is cooked, stir in veggies + spices. Cover and cook until veggies have softened, about 10 minutes.
Step 3: Serve over steamed cauliflower rice + enjoy!
Substitutions for this recipe:
- Cauliflower Rice– You can sub cauliflower rice with regular rice or quinoa. (Neither are paleo/whole3o)
- Turkey – You can sub ground turkey with ground beef or ground chicken.
- Vegetables– If you can’t get this Healthy 8 mix from Trader Joe’s you can use a mix of your own veggies! Chop Carrots, peppers, celery, cabbage and you should be good. Or you can follow this tutorial on how to make your own at home.
- Spices– If you don’t have fresh ginger, you can sub in 1 tsp ground dry ginger.
- Coconut Aminos – You can sub coconut aminos for low sodium soy sauce or bragg’s liquid aminos. (Neither are paleo or whole30)

June 12, 2019 at 10:21 amI love this recipe for meal prepping. So easy and delicious at the same time. I will make a double batch and either freeze half, or send half to my parents house. I could eat this every night for a week.
