Notes
Prep Ahead: Chop and prepare all your ingredients in advance to streamline the cooking process and ensure everything is ready when needed.
Use Fresh and Vibrant Vegetables: Opt for fresh vegetables whenever possible to ensure vibrant colors, textures, and flavors in your stir-fry. However, if using frozen vegetables, make sure they are not overcooked to maintain their crispness.
Adjust Seasonings to Taste: Feel free to adjust the amount of soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, and brown sugar according to your preference. Taste the sauce before adding it to the stir-fry and make any necessary adjustments to suit your desired flavor profile.
Control the Heat: Adjust the heat level on your stove to prevent scorching or burning the ingredients. Stir-frying on high heat allows for quick cooking and helps retain the crispness of the vegetables.
Avoid Overcooking the Turkey: Ground turkey cooks relatively quickly, so be mindful not to overcook it, as it can become dry and lose its tenderness. Stir-fry until the turkey is cooked through and no longer pink.
Add Thai Basil at the End: Stir in the fresh Thai basil leaves at the end of cooking to preserve their vibrant flavor and aroma.
Serve with Accompaniments: Consider serving the stir-fry over steamed rice or alongside noodles for a complete and satisfying meal. Garnish with additional Thai basil leaves or chopped cilantro for added freshness.
