Quick and flavorful ground turkey infused with Korean-style spicy-sweet sauce, garlic, ginger, and sesame. Ideal for weeknight meals.
# What You'll Need:
→ For the Sauce
01 - 1/4 cup soy sauce (use low sodium if preferred)
02 - 2 teaspoons cornstarch
03 - 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
04 - 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes (adjust to taste)
→ For the Turkey
05 - 2 tablespoons sesame oil
06 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
07 - 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
08 - 15 ounces ground turkey
→ Finishes & Garnish
09 - 6 tablespoons chives, chopped (reserve some for garnish)
10 - 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
# How to Make It:
01 - In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, cornstarch, brown sugar, and red chili flakes until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Set aside.
02 - Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sesame oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger; stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
03 - Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until it is no longer pink and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
04 - Pour the prepared soy sauce mixture into the skillet. Stir well to coat the turkey. Cook for 2-3 minutes on high heat, allowing the sauce to thicken and turn glossy. If the sauce becomes too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water.
05 - Stir in the chopped chives, reserving some for garnish. Remove from heat.
06 - Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and the remaining chives. Serve hot over rice with your choice of vegetables.
