Ingredients
  

For the Turkey
  • 1 lb Ground Turkey Choose lean for a healthier dish
  • 3 cloves Garlic Freshly minced adds the best depth of flavor
  • 1/4 cup Honey Provides sweetness and a sticky glaze
  • 1/4 cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce Key for umami flavor; tamari works for gluten-free
  • 2 tbsp Rice Vinegar Balances the flavors with acidity; apple cider vinegar can be used as a substitute
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Oil Adds nutty notes; can be omitted for allergies or use olive oil instead
  • 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes Optional, spice to taste
  • 4 stalks Green Onions Adds a fresh crunch; increase for more flavor
  • 1-2 tbsp Neutral Oil Canola or Avocado, ideal for cooking the turkey

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • wooden spoon
  • small bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes, then add 1-2 tablespoons of neutral oil.
  2. Add the ground turkey, breaking it apart, and cook for 6-7 minutes until golden brown and no pink remains.
  3. Reduce heat to medium and add minced garlic, stirring for about 1 minute until lightly toasted.
  4. Whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
  5. Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the turkey, stirring to coat. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  6. Stir in most of the sliced green onions right before removing from heat, reserving some for garnish.
  7. Serve the turkey over rice, noodles, or in lettuce cups, garnishing with reserved green onions.
