By á-4020

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground turkey
• 3 garlic cloves - grated
• 2 tbs ginger - grated
• 1 lb green beans - trimmed
• 1/2 c chicken broth
• 1 tbs corn starch
• 3 tbs soy sauce - low sodium
• 1 tbs hoisin sauce
• 2 tbs rice vinegar
• 1/2 tbs chili garlic paste (more or less to taste)
• 8 oz water chestnuts - sliced
• 1/2 tbs sesame oil

Preparation

Step 1

1. Pre-heat a large wok or deep pan over high heat and spray with non-stick spray.
2. Add ground turkey, garlic and ginger.
3. Using a potato masher or wooden spoon, break down the turkey and cook until browned. (Don't be afraid of color! Brown = flavor. Move away from the pan for a minute - it's ok, really!)
4. In a small bowl, whisk together chicken broth, corn starch, soy, hoisin, rice vinegar and chili garlic paste; set aside.
5. Once turkey is browned and bits and pieces are sticking to the pan, add in green beans and broth/soy mixture.
6. Saute 3-4 minutes then add water chestnuts and sesame oil.
7. Cook an additional minute or two then serve. Great with brown rice.
