How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh turkey meat
- You should choose turkeys with thin skin, a shiny yellow color, and a smooth feel when touched.
- Choose turkeys with naturally pink-red meat, not too pale or too dark.
- Avoid purchasing turkeys with bruises or blood clots and meat that is pale or has turned too dark.
How to choose fresh and delicious bell peppers
- Delicious bell peppers are those that have a smooth, glossy outer skin, vibrant colors, and an even hue.
- You should choose bell peppers that are of moderate size and feel firm when held, with the stem still attached to the fruit.
- Do not choose bell peppers that feel soft and mushy when held, have bruises, cracks on the skin, or lack a stem.

Stir-fry onion and bell peppers
First, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil into a pan and heat on medium heat. When the oil is hot, add diced onions and stir-fry for about 2 minutes, then add minced garlic and stir together for another 2 minutes.
Next, add 2 tablespoons of minced lemongrass to the pan and stir for about 30 seconds, then add diced bell peppers, continuing to stir with 1/4 teaspoon of ground pepper for about 3 minutes until the ingredients are evenly cooked, then transfer to a plate.

Stir-fry turkey
Still in the same pan, add the ground turkey and stir-fry over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes until the meat is firm, then add the ingredients that were stir-fried in step 1 and mix well.
Next, add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of fish sauce to the pan, and stir well for about 2 minutes for the spices to absorb into the turkey, and continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes until the mixture reduces in liquid.
Then, add 2 tablespoons of dark soy sauce to the turkey and stir for 1 minute. Add chopped green onions and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until the green onions are cooked, then turn off the heat and serve on a plate.
