PREPARATION FOR SPICY SIZZLE TURKEY AND GREEN BEAN STIR
- Prep Vegetables: Heat half the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add green beans, season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Cook Turkey: In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Add the ground turkey, onion, and garlic, and cook until the turkey is browned and cooked through.
- Make the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, chilli garlic sauce, sesame oil, ginger, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Combine and Stir-Fry: Return the green beans to the skillet with the turkey. Pour the sauce over the mixture and toss to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow flavours to meld.
