Description

A delightful dish featuring ground turkey cooked in a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce, perfect for busy weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 green onions (sliced)
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil


Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the neutral oil. Let it warm for about a minute.
  2. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Increase the heat slightly and add the ground turkey. Break it apart using a spatula or wooden spoon.
  4. Cook the turkey for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until it turns browned and fully cooked.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes.
  6. Pour the sauce over the browned turkey in the skillet. Stir to coat the meat evenly and allow it to simmer for about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Remove the skillet from the heat, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve hot.

Notes

For added spice, incorporate extra red pepper flakes or chopped jalapeños. Serve over rice or in lettuce wraps for a tasty twist.
