How to make Turkey and Green Bean Stir-Fry:
This recipe is all about simplicity. The simplest of dinners are often the best and the ones you’ll want on repeat! Here are the ingredients you need (see recipe card below for full instructions and ingredients):
- Ground turkey
- Fresh green beans
- Minced garlic
- Fresh ginger
- Coconut aminos (can also substitute GF Tamari Soy Sauce)
- Rice vinegar
- Sesame oil
- Chili garlic sauce or sriracha
Just a few easy steps to make this dinner! Start by sauteeing the green beans in cooking oil (I use avocado) and minced garlic. After 5-7 minutes, remove from pan, but keep the pan hot. Brown the turkey with freshly chopped ginger. Once complete, toss in the green beans. Make a quick sauce by stirring together coconut aminos, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and chili garlic sauce or sriracha.
Serving and Storing
Serve hot over a bed of rice or cauliflower rice. The best options are my Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice or Coconut Lime Cauliflower Rice.
