Description

A delightful dish that combines savory flavors and a hint of spice, made with lean ground turkey. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

  • 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

  1. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, cornstarch, brown sugar, and chili flakes. Mix until the cornstarch is dissolved and set aside.
  2. Drizzle a large skillet with sesame oil. Stir in garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant.
  3. Add the ground turkey and break it into small chunks while frying. Cook until the turkey loses its raw red color.
  4. Stir in the soy sauce mixture and keep over high heat for 2 more minutes until the sauce turns golden brown and fragrant. If the sauce is too thick, add 1 tbsp of water.
  5. Add chives (keeping some for garnishing) and turn off the heat.
  6. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with chopped chives. Serve with rice and vegetables.

Notes

Adjust the spiciness by adding more or fewer chili flakes. Serve with pickled vegetables for a more authentic Korean experience.
