Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 cups green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
- Add the green beans to the skillet and stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
- Return the cooked turkey to the skillet and add soy sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
- Adjust the sriracha to your spice preference start with less if you prefer mild heat.
- Swap green beans for broccoli, snap peas, or bell peppers for a veggie twist.
- For extra flavor, add a dash of hoisin sauce or a splash of lime juice.
