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.

  • 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.

GINGER PEANUT STIR-FRY SAUCE



Ginger Peanut Stir-Fry Sauce image

There are a million versions of spicy peanut sauce - this is just another take on an old (?) favourite. It uses vinegar which I like because I don't always have citrus on hand. My 3 year old loves this (go figure), it's just the right amount of spice for him - so of course you might want to beef up the chili. I also went pretty light on the sesame oil to try and save some calories...all in all it's pretty tasty and super easy! In my photo I had stir-fried it with some buckwheat noodes, bok choi, broccoli and some other veg. Note that it only makes 1/2 a cup, about enough for 2.
