Description
A simple and flavorful Korean-style ground turkey dish that’s perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 1/2 tbsp brown sugar (packed)
- 1/2 tsp red chili flakes (or to taste)
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger (grated)
- 15 oz / 450g ground turkey
- 6 tbsp chives (chopped)
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, cornstarch, brown sugar, and chili flakes. Mix until the cornstarch is dissolved, then set aside.
- Drizzle a large skillet with sesame oil, mix in garlic, and ginger, waiting until fragrant.
- Add the ground turkey, breaking it into small chunks as it cooks. Fry until the turkey loses its raw red color.
- Stir in the soy sauce mixture and keep the heat high for 2 more minutes, until the sauce turns golden brown and fragrant. If the sauce is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water.
- Add the chives (keep some for garnishing) and turn off the heat.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with chopped chives. Serve with rice and vegetables.
Notes
Adjust the spice level by adding more or fewer chili flakes based on your preference. For extra flavor, marinate the ground turkey in the soy sauce mixture for about 30 minutes before cooking.
