SPICY TURKEY STIR-FRY WITH CRISP GARLIC AND GINGER



Spicy Turkey Stir-Fry With Crisp Garlic and Ginger image

This quick-cooking stir-fry is packed with umami from fish sauce and soy sauce, and heat from both red-pepper flakes and fresh chile. Pungent and herbal, it's a terrific weeknight dish that's fast but never bland. The key here is to let the turkey get deeply brown, so don't move it around in the pan too much. Serve it over rice for a substantial meal, or a bed of crisp lettuce if you want something lighter.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as safflower or grapeseed
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 (2-inch) knob ginger, cut into matchsticks
Fine sea salt
2 tablespoons coconut oil or more neutral oil
3 scallions, white and green parts separated, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more to taste
1 pound ground turkey, preferably dark meat (or use ground pork)
2 tablespoons lime juice, plus more to taste
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon sugar or honey (optional)
Cooked sticky or white rice, for serving
2/3 cup cilantro leaves and tender stems, for serving
1/3 cup torn basil leaves (or use more cilantro), for serving
1 fresh bird's-eye or serrano chile, thinly sliced, for serving

Steps:

  • In a cold 12-inch skillet, combine oil, garlic and ginger. Place over medium heat until sizzling, then continue to cook, stirring frequently, until garlic and ginger are golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle lightly with salt.
  • Add coconut oil to pan, then stir in scallion whites and cook until starting to brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in red-pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute.
  • Stir in turkey, raise heat to medium-high, and cook, breaking up meat with a spoon, until golden and crisp, about 7 minutes. Don't stir the meat too much, so it can turn deep brown.
  • Remove pan from heat and stir in lime juice, fish sauce and soy sauce. Taste and add more lime juice, red-pepper flakes, soy sauce and sugar or honey if you like.
  • Gently mix about two-thirds of the fried garlic and ginger into the turkey. Serve turkey over rice, topped with cilantro, basil, scallion greens and fresh chile, and garnished with remaining fried ginger and garlic.

Time 20m

Yield 4-5

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 lb Boar's Head Ovengold
sup
®
/sup
Turkey Breast
2 tbsp Soy Sauce
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 cup Boar's Head Brown Sugar & Spice Ham Glaze Cooking Sauce
1 tbsp Oil, vegetable
1 package Oriental Vegetables, Frozen

Steps:

  • Slice turkey in strips.
  • Blend 2 tsp. of the soy sauce and garlic powder into BH Ham Glaze Cooking Sauce and set aside.
  • Add 1 tbsp of oil to hot wok or large frying pan, and swirl to coat. Add remaining 2 tsp of soy sauce and meat to pan. Saute over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add frozen vegetables, stir. Add cooking sauce blend and mix well.
  • Cover and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Serve over boiled rice.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in your stir-fry. Look for tender-crisp vegetables, lean turkey, and a flavorful sauce.
  • Prep your ingredients ahead of time: This will make the cooking process go much faster. Wash and chop your vegetables, cook your rice, and measure out your sauce ingredients before you start cooking.
  • Use a hot wok or skillet: This will help to sear the turkey and vegetables and prevent them from sticking. If your wok or skillet is not hot enough, the ingredients will release their water and the stir-fry will be watery.
  • Stir-fry in batches: If you overcrowd the wok or skillet, the ingredients will not cook evenly. Cook the turkey and vegetables in batches, removing them from the wok or skillet as they are done.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings a stir-fry together. Use a sauce that is flavorful and complements the other ingredients in your stir-fry.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fry is best served immediately after it is cooked. The vegetables will be crisp and the sauce will be flavorful.

Turkey stir-fry is a quick, easy, and healthy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights.
