Honey Ginger Stir Fry

We made it past January y'all! That was the longest year of a month. One of my goals was to post a new recipe a week. So....that didn't happen. It turns out like keeps going even when you set goals. This month brought my official grade school application ( I received a scholarship but still have to get into the program), parent teacher conference for my son (How is he old enough for this to happen already?!), several doctors visits for my son, and, oh yeah, my anniversary with the love of my life! But, here I am on February 1st starting back up with a new favorite recipe.

One of my husband's friends gave me a cookbook for people with GERD for Christmas. This recipe started as a recipe from that book, but I never completely follow recipes and wind up making them my own dish. I love it, as in I ate it for 7 meals straight last week and I am ready to make it again loved it. It's simple but delicious.

Ingredients:
1 lb 99% fat free ground turkey (You can use 93 if you can't find 99. It's just too much fat for me.)
About 4 tbs of honey
About 2 tbs of ground ginger
Whatever stir fry type veggies you like. I used steamed broccoli and cauliflower because I had those on hand.
1 cup of cooked rice

Start out by spraying the bottom of your pan with non stick spray. You can use 1tbs of oil if you do not have non stick spray. Brown your ground turkey. Add 1 tbs of ground ginger in first. You can add more in later, depending on your taste preferences. I love ginger so I wound up with more than 2 tbs of ground ginger. Next up I added my veggies (about 3 cups of steamed broccoli and 3 cups of steamed cauliflower. Once again, this is based on your preferences for the meat and veggie ratio.) and 4 tbs of honey and mixed it all together. Cook that on medium heat for about five minutes to get all the flavors to marry (That's a Cajun term meaning the flavors will combine. I learned that it was a Cajun term after getting a very odd look from my husband when I said it one day. ) I cooked 1 cup of rice on the side. For portions, I had 1 cup of my ground turkey stirfry mix with 2 tbs of cooked rice. I know that isn't a lot of rice. It is just for a different texture. I left it out one meal, and I still enjoyed the meal with out it.

That's it. It's a pretty simple meal, but it is delicious and will definitely be repeated in this house. Ginger is great for GERD so that is a great plus!

              One of my favorite pictures of us because this is a look that I give my husband often. He has supported me completely on this journey, even if that meant me bring lunch to his work for our anniversary date because eating out and GERD don't often mix well for me.
