Ingredients
For the Sauce
- 1/4 cup Soy Sauce Use low-sodium varieties for a healthier option.
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch Substitute with arrowroot starch if desired.
- 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar Honey or coconut sugar can provide a different flavor.
- 1 teaspoon Red Chili Flakes Adjust according to taste.
For the Stir Fry
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil Can use olive oil but flavor will differ.

- 1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger Grated.

Instructions
Directions
- In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, cornstarch, brown sugar, and chili flakes; mix until the cornstarch is dissolved. Set aside.
- Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up into small pieces. Cook until the meat is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the prepared sauce mixture and continue cooking over high heat for about 2 minutes. If the sauce thickens too much, add a tablespoon of water.
- Mix in chopped chives (reserve some for garnish), then remove from heat. Top with toasted sesame seeds, and serve over rice alongside vibrant vegetables.
