  4. Brown the Turkey: Add ground turkey, break apart, and stir frequently for 5-7 minutes until fully cooked.
  5. Season and Stir: Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and season turkey with salt and pepper, stirring well and cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  6. Add the Vegetables: Toss in chopped red bell pepper, julienned carrots, and broccoli florets; sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.
