Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds Ground Turkey Meat
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 4 ½ cloves of Garlic
- 1 ½ tablespoons Ginger
- 1 ½ Scallion
- 6 cups Snow Pea
- ¼ cup + ½ tablespoon Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
- 1 ½ tablespoons Rice Vinegar
- 1 ½ Black Pepper
- 3 tablespoons Neutral Oil
- 1 ½ tablespoons Sesame Oil
- 1 ½ tablespoons Sesame Seeds
- 1 ½ tablespoons Honey
Directions
- Mise en place: Prepare the sauce by whisking together the low-sodium soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, and the cornstarch mixed with cold water in a small bowl. Chop the scallions and set aside.
- Heat 1 ½ tablespoons of neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and black pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until it is no longer pink, approximately 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the cooked turkey from the skillet and place it on a plate.
- Add the remaining 1 ½ tablespoons of neutral oil to the same skillet. Add the snow peas and stir frequently until they turn bright green and are crisp-tender, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Return the cooked ground turkey to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats all the ingredients, which should take about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with the chopped scallions and toasted sesame seeds before serving hot.
