Ingredients
Ground Turkey (93% lean)
2 medium Zucchini
3 tablespoons Soy Sauce (or Tamari)
3 cloves Garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon Ginger (minced)
1 tablespoon Light Brown Sugar
2 tablespoons Cornstarch
1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat
Add ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned and slightly seared
Push turkey to one side of the pan, add garlic and ginger, sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant
Cut zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds or half-moons and add to the pan; stir fry for 3 minutes
In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and 1/2 cup water until smooth
Pour sauce over turkey and zucchini, stir to coat, and simmer for 5 minutes until sauce thickens
Serve immediately garnished with chopped green onions if desired
Notes
Use gluten-free tamari or coconut aminos for dietary restrictions
Uniformly sized zucchini ensures even cooking
Skillet can be substituted for a wok, but avoid overcrowding the pan
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator
