• for topping: green onion, cilantro, lime juice, sesame seeds...
• 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoon fish sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• pinch of pepper

Instructions

1. Make the stir-fry sauce. Combine the coconut aminos, lime juice, honey, sesame oil, fish sauce, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl or jar. Adjust according to taste. Set aside.
2. Cook the turkey. Heat a large skillet over medium to medium-low heat, add oil, and let it get hot. Add the ginger and garlic and saute, constantly stirring, for 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful it doesn’t burn. Then add your turkey, breaking it up with a spatula or meat chopper. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes until browned on the outside and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3. Sauté your veggies. Leaving the juices in the pan, add the onion, carrots, and a pinch of salt and pepper and saute for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Next, add the green beans, peppers, and a little more salt and pepper and mix well to combine. Saute for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Bring it all together. Add back your turkey (along with its juices) and your stir-fry sauce. Mix well to combine and let warm through, about 1-2 minutes, or until veggies are cooked to your liking.
5. Enjoy! Top with optional toppings and serve with sides of choice. I suggest spooning some of the sauce over the stir fry and rice (if serving with it).
