Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 3 garlic cloves – grated
  • 2 tbs ginger – grated
  • 1 lb green beans – trimmed
  • ½ c chicken broth
  • 1 tbs corn starch
  • 3 tbs soy sauce – low sodium

  1. Pre-heat a large wok or deep pan over high heat and spray with non-stick spray.
  2. Add ground turkey, garlic and ginger.
  3. Using a potato masher or wooden spoon, break down the turkey and cook until browned. (Don’t be afraid of color! Brown = flavor. Move away from the pan for a minute – it’s ok, really!)

  5. Once turkey is browned and bits and pieces are sticking to the pan, add in green beans and broth/soy mixture.

  7. Cook an additional minute or two then serve. Great with cauliflower 'rice'.
