Ingredients:

  • 1 lb 93% lean ground turkey
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.25 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 0.33 cup honey
  • 0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 5 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 stalks green onions, sliced

Instructions:

  1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
  2. Heat the avocado oil in a large 12-inch non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Break the meat into large chunks and let it sit undisturbed for 3 minutes to get a dark, crispy crust, approximately 3 minutes.
  4. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and the white parts of the sliced green onions. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the aromatics are fragrant and the garlic is softened.
  5. Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce over the turkey. Stir to coat and simmer for 3-5 minutes. The sauce will reduce and thicken into a glossy glaze that clings to the meat.
  6. Remove from heat and garnish with the remaining green onion tops. Serve over rice or in lettuce wraps.
