Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 cup yellow onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 Tbsp fresh ginger peeled and grated
  • 4 green onions sliced
  • cup coconut aminos*
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 2 cup green beans chopped

Instructions

  • Heat the avocado oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Sauté the onion, stirring occasionally, until it has softened, about 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Add in the ground turkey, fresh minced garlic, and minced ginger. Use a spatula or a wooden spoon to bread up the ground turkey into small pieces while it is cooking. Continue cooking until the turkey is mostly cooked through.
  • Add in the chopped green onions, coconut aminos, lime zest, lime juice, and green beans. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is cooked through and the green beans have reached your desired doneness, about 5 more minutes.
  • Taste the ground turkey for flavor and add more lime juice and/or coconut aminos to your personal taste.
  • Serve over your choice of steamed rice, cauliflower rice, or any side dishes you love with a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top.

Notes

*Replace the coconut aminos with 1/4 cup soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar or pure maple syrup.
