Quick, flavorful ground turkey with spicy-sweet Korean sauce, garlic, ginger, and sesame seeds. Ready in 30 minutes.
# What You Need:
→ Sauce
01 - 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
02 - 2 teaspoons cornstarch
03 - 1/2 tablespoon packed brown sugar
04 - 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
→ Turkey Base
05 - 2 tablespoons sesame oil
06 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
07 - 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
08 - 15 ounces ground turkey
→ Garnish
09 - 6 tablespoons chives, chopped
10 - 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
# How-To Steps:
01 - In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, cornstarch, brown sugar, and red chili flakes until cornstarch is fully dissolved. Set aside.
02 - Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sesame oil and once hot, add minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for approximately 30 seconds until fragrant.
03 - Add ground turkey to the skillet. Cook while breaking it up with a spatula until no longer pink and fully cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes.
04 - Pour the prepared soy sauce mixture into the skillet. Stir well to coat the turkey evenly. Cook on high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and turn glossy. Add 1 tablespoon water if sauce becomes too thick.
05 - Stir in chopped chives, reserving some for garnish. Remove from heat.
06 - Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and remaining chives. Serve hot over steamed rice with steamed or sautéed vegetables.
