Ingredients
- 1.25 pounds 99% fat free ground turkey
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- fresh ground pepper
- 1 small bunch green onions, chopped
- 2 cups frozen or fresh veggies of choice
For sauce
- 1/3 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or rice wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- add in 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
Preparations
Step 1
Heat cooking spray in a large skillet over medium, high heat.
Step 2
Mix meat around with our hands, forming small pieces. Place those pieces in your skillet. Season meat with garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and no longer pink in the middle, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 3
While meat is cooking, mix together sauce ingredients and chop green onions. Set aside.
Step 4
When meat is no longer pink, add in sauce and half of green onions. Bring to a boil, then simmer until sauce has thickened and coated the meat, about 5 minutes. Add in a splash or two water if the sauce gets too thick.
Step 5
In the last few minutes of cooking, add in your frozen veggies and cook until just defrosted, about 3-4 minutes. If using fresh veggies, you may need to add them in earlier in the process to ensure that they cook through.
Step 6
Garnish with remaining green onions.
