Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Stir Fry

• Ground turkey – I used 93% lean ground turkey and you could go even leaner, but the turkey will be drier and not as flavorful. You could also use ground chicken, ground beef or ground pork
• Green beans – make sure to use fresh trimmed green beans and not canned in this recipe
• Olive oil – I like to use a good olive oil to sauté the veggies. Doesn’t have to be expensive, just make sure it’s cold-pressed and organic for the most flavor (in my opinion)
• Onion – this adds so much flavor and you can use a white or yellow onion
• Garlic – you can use fresh chopped garlic or minced garlic from the jar

For the Sauce

• Soy sauce – I always use low-sodium soy sauce as I find that regular soy sauce can make dishes too salty. You could also swap the soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos to make this gluten-free
• Chili garlic sauce – this adds flavor and a nice kick, you could also use sweet chili sauce or even sriracha
• Honey – this adds a little sweetness to the sauce without using refined sugars and makes a nice glaze. You could also swap the honey with maple syrup if you don’t have honey on hand
• Sesame oil – adds that delicious Asian flavor to the sauce!
• Ginger – fresh grated ginger is definitely best in this dish, but if all you have is ground ginger you can use
• Seasonings – I used a combination of salt, pepper and crushed red pepper flakes for added spice

How to Make Asian Ground Turkey and Green Bean Stir Fry

1. Saute the green beans. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once pan is hot, add green beans and season with a little salt and pepper. Sauté the green beans for about 6 minutes until they start to get a little char and are tender, but still crisp. We don’t want floppy green beans! Transfer the green beans to a bowl and set aside.
2. Brown the ground turkey. Drizzle a little more olive oil in the hot skillet and add the chopped onion. Sauté the onion until fragrant and translucent, about 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in the garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds, being careful not to burn. Add the ground turkey and brown until crumbled and turkey is fully cooked.
3. Make the sauce. While the ground turkey is cooking in the skillet, whisk together soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, honey, sesame oil, ginger and seasonings.
4. Toss the stir fry! Add the cooked green beans back into the pan and pour in the sauce, mixing well, making sure to completely coat the ground turkey and green beans. Let everything simmer for about 2 more minutes, until the sauce has thickened. Serve over hot rice and enjoy!
