SWEET AND SPICY GROUND TURKEY STIR-FRY
I put this together for a light meal when I noticed that we had too big a collection of half-bags of frozen vegetables and little containers of leftover cooked veggies. The kind and quantity of the vegetables can vary according to what you have -- you just need to end up with between 2 and 3 lbs. Some people prefer a more generous amount of thickened sauce on their stir-fry dishes. With a diabetic in the house, I skip that part but I've included the directions if you want it.

Steps:
- Brown ground turkey in a little oil over medium-high heat. Drain any excess grease leaving just enough to accomplish the stir-frying process.
- Add garlic, onion, coriander, and a tbs of the soy sauce. Stir well.
- Begin adding the vegetables starting with long-cooking veggies like carrots and broccoli (especially if broccoli is still frozen), and working towards the quick-cooking greens but not adding those just yet.
- Just before adding the greens -- right after adding the beans or snap peas -- add the remaining soy sauce, the sugar, the sherry, and the red pepper flakes. Stir well so that sugar dissolves and pepper flakes are well distributed.
- Add the greens and complete the cooking.
- Make the optional sauce if desired by whisking the cornstarch into the chicken stock. Pour into pan just before the greens are done and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has simmered for about one minute.
- Serve over rice, ramen noodle, or other preferred, Asian starch.

SWEET AND SPICY TURKEY RUB
This dry rub recipe is an adaptation of a cajun rub recipe I came across. It reduces the salt and replaces it with brown sugar and a couple more savory spices. It is good for a 12- to 16-pound turkey and should also work well with chicken and pork.

SPICY TURKEY STIR-FRY WITH CRISP GARLIC AND GINGER
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.

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.

Tips:
- Choose the right ground turkey: Opt for lean ground turkey (93% lean or higher) to reduce fat and calories while maintaining flavor.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Don't limit yourself to just one or two veggies. The more colorful your stir-fry, the more nutrients and flavors you'll have.
- Prep your ingredients: Cut your vegetables and meat into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking. This will also make the stir-frying process faster and easier.
- Use a hot pan: A well-heated pan or wok is essential for a successful stir-fry. This will help create the signature sear on the meat and vegetables while preventing them from sticking.
- Stir constantly: The key to a great stir-fry is constant stirring. This will ensure that all the ingredients cook evenly and that the sauce coats everything nicely.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Cooking in batches may be necessary if you have a lot of ingredients. Overcrowding the pan will prevent even cooking and steaming instead of stir-frying.
- Season to taste: Always taste your stir-fry before serving and adjust seasonings as needed. A balance of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors is ideal.
Conclusion:
This Sweet and Spicy Ground Turkey Stir-Fry is a quick, easy, and flavorful meal that's perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. With its tender ground turkey, crisp-tender vegetables, and a delicious sweet and spicy sauce, this stir-fry is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
