Ingredients
  

For the Turkey Mixture
  • 1 lb Ground Turkey a lean protein choice that keeps this dish light and filling.
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced; adjust to your liking.
  • 1/4 cup Honey adds a delightful sweetness, creating a sticky glaze.
  • 1/4 cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce introduces umami and balance.
  • 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar provides necessary acidity to balance sweetness.
  • 1 tsp Sesame Oil infuses a nutty flavor; recommended for that authentic touch.
  • 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes optional; add for a spicy kick.
For Serving
  • 2 Green Onions sliced, for garnish.
  • 1 tbsp Neutral Oil canola or avocado, for browning the turkey.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat the Oil: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of neutral oil and allow to heat for 1-2 minutes until shimmering.
  2. Brown the Turkey: Add ground turkey to the skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and no longer pink.
  3. Sauté the Garlic: Reduce heat to medium and add minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Whisk the Sauce: In a bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until well incorporated.
  5. Combine Turkey and Sauce: Pour the sauce over the browned turkey. Stir and simmer for 3-5 minutes until sauce thickens.
  6. Finish with Green Onions: Stir in most of the sliced green onions, reserving some for garnish. Remove from heat.
  7. Serve: Spoon the turkey mixture over rice, noodles, or in lettuce cups. Garnish with remaining green onions.
