Instructions
Preparation
- Prepare the Ingredients: Start by dicing the onion, mincing the garlic, chopping the red pepper, and slicing the scallions, keeping the white and green parts separate for garnish.
- Make the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice wine, fish sauce, cornstarch, and grated ginger until smooth and well combined.
- Cook Onions: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant and slightly translucent.
- Brown Turkey: Add the ground turkey, minced garlic, and chopped red pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the turkey is browned and cooked through, allowing it to sit undisturbed for a few seconds to enhance flavor.
- Add Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet, stirring for 1-2 minutes until it thickens and coats the turkey and veggies.
- Serve: Remove from heat, fold in the sliced scallion whites, and serve the mixture over rice or a low-carb grain such as cauliflower rice. Top each bowl with sesame seeds, cilantro, and the green parts of scallions for a fresh finish.
