Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high temperature. Add the wild turkey and sauté the meat for 4 to 6 minutes or until just about cooked through. Remove the turkey from the skillet and set aside.

Sauté the turkey until just cooked through, then remove from pan.

Add more olive oil to the skillet if necessary. Add the sliced onion and cook for 4 to 6 minutes or until the onion is soft and translucent. Add the broccoli. Continue cooking another 4 to 6 minutes or until the broccoli is cooked through but still crisp. Return the turkey to the skillet.
