  • Garlic ClovesFreshly minced garlic adds a pungent, savory kick that is essential for a vibrant flavor profile.

  • GingerFreshly grated ginger offers a warm, spicy zing that complements the other Asian-inspired flavors perfectly.
  • Sesame OilA tiny drizzle of toasted sesame oil at the end imparts a nutty aroma and rich flavor, enhancing the overall experience.
  • Cauliflower RicePre-packaged or homemade cauliflower rice makes a fantastic low-carb base, absorbing all the delicious sauce.
  • Green OnionsSliced green onions, used as a garnish, provide a mild oniony crunch and a pop of fresh color.

Notes

  • Store any delicious leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days; the flavors tend to deepen overnight!
  • Gently warm your meal in the microwave or a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water or a low-carb broth to maintain moisture as it heats through.
  • Elevate your plate with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds or a dash of chili flakes for an extra layer of texture and a gentle kick.
  • When browning your lean ground turkey, ensure your pan is hot and avoid overcrowding to achieve a beautiful sear, locking in moisture and building a robust flavor foundation.
