Description

A quick and budget-friendly dish featuring ground turkey infused with savory soy sauce, garlic, and ginger, topped with sesame seeds and fresh chives.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tbsp brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 tsp red chili flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger (grated)
  • 15 oz (450g) ground turkey
  • 6 tbsp chives (chopped), plus more for garnish
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, cornstarch, brown sugar, and red chili flakes. Whisk until fully dissolved and set aside.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drizzle in the sesame oil, then add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté until fragrant.
  3. Add the ground turkey, breaking it apart. Cook until no longer pink, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Pour in the soy sauce mixture, stirring to coat the turkey. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until golden and fragrant. Add a tablespoon of water if too thick.
  5. Mix in the chopped chives and turn off heat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with remaining chives.
