Note
Ground turkey is widely available in supermarkets and works well in this recipe for a leaner option. If you prefer more texture, use slivered turkey breast.
For a stronger teriyaki flavor, add an extra tablespoon of sauce or mix in a teaspoon of ginger and garlic.
This dish pairs excellently with steamed white rice or noodles to soak up the savory sauce.
You can substitute the snow peas with broccoli florets or snap peas if preferred.
Ensure the wok is very hot before adding the turkey to prevent sticking and ensure a good sear.
