A quick and easy recipe featuring tender ground turkey coated in a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce, perfect for weeknight dinners or potlucks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Set the sauce aside.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of sesame oil and cook the minced garlic and ginger for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to break it up into small pieces as it cooks. Cook for about 5-6 minutes until browned and fully cooked.
  4. Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce into the skillet. Stir well to coat the turkey evenly. Allow the sauce to simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.
  5. If desired, sprinkle in red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
  7. Serve hot over steamed rice, noodles, or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.

Notes

[‘Don’t overcook the turkey to prevent it from drying out.’, ‘Use fresh garlic and ginger for the boldest flavor.’, ‘Prepare the sauce ahead to save time and enhance flavor.’, ‘Keep the skillet at medium heat to avoid burning the honey.’, ‘Customize the spice level by adjusting the amount of red pepper flakes.’]
