Brown the turkey. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. Add the ground turkey and season with the salt. Cook, breaking it apart, until fully cooked and lightly browned, about 5–6 minutes. Let it develop a little color — that’s flavor.
Build the aromatic base. Add the onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to soften and the onion turns translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
Bloom the aromatics. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Don’t let them brown.
Deglaze + sauce. Stir in the dry sherry and let it bubble for 30–45 seconds to cook off the alcohol. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sriracha, rice wine vinegar, and sesame oil. Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir to coat everything evenly.
Finish with bok choy. Add the chopped bok choy and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring, just until wilted and tender-crisp. Let the sauce simmer briefly so it tightens and clings to the turkey.
Serve. Serve hot over steamed rice, quinoa, or noodles. Finish with green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

Don’t overcrowd the pan — a wide skillet helps the turkey brown properly.
Taste before serving and adjust heat with extra sriracha if needed.
For extra texture, finish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions.
Want it saucier? Add 1–2 tablespoons of water or broth and simmer briefly.
Use both the stems and leafy greens of the baby bok choy — they cook quickly together and wilt perfectly in the final minutes.
