Ingredients
1 pound ground turkey
1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
1 cup uncooked jasmine rice (or cauliflower rice)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the ground turkey. Trim asparagus to uniform length.
Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add turkey and cook 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Add more oil if needed, then add asparagus and garlic to the skillet. Sauté 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender.
Stir in soy sauce, ginger, and pepper. Return turkey to the pan to coat.
Whisk cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth. Pour into the skillet, stirring until sauce thickens (1-2 minutes). Remove from heat.
Cook rice according to package instructions. Serve stir fry over rice.
Notes
For extra fiber, add 1/2 cup snow peas or bell peppers during sauté step.
Use ground chicken or lean beef as alternatives.
Adjust soy sauce to control sodium.
Cook on high heat for best results with a non-stick pan.
Leftovers keep in airtight containers for 3-4 days.
