Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1/2 red onion finely chopped*
- 3 cloves garlic*
- 1/2 red bell pepper chopped
- 2 cups grated carrot
- 2 green onions chopped, for serving

- 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tsp fish sauce optional
- 1/4 tsp sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Add the ingredients for the sauce to a bowl and whisk until well-combined. Set aside until ready to use.
- Heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat and add the ground turkey. Allow the turkey to brown on one side for 2 minutes, then flip and allow it to brown another 2 minutes. Use a spatula to break the turkey into smaller pieces.

- Serve with choice of side dishes and enjoy!
