๐จโ๐ณMethod
Prep the Vegetables
3 minChop the broccoli, carrot, eggplant, and zucchini into even bite-sized pieces. Lightly steam or microwave them for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still with a nice crunch.
Cook the Turkey
7 minHeat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and coat thoroughly with zero-calorie cooking spray. Season the diced turkey breast with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, tossing occasionally, until golden-brown on all sides and completely cooked through.
Combine
2 minAdd the pre-cooked vegetables to the skillet with the turkey. Toss everything together and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the veg are heated through and starting to pick up some color from the pan.
Make the Sauce
2 minReduce the heat to low. Stir in the low-fat ricotta cheese, soy sauce, and chili sauce. Mix constantly until the ricotta melts into a smooth, creamy sauce that coats the meat and vegetables evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a small splash of warm water.
Garnish & Serve
1 minRemove from heat, transfer to a serving bowl, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately while the sauce is still glossy.
