Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1/2 red onion finely chopped*
  • 3 cloves garlic*
  • 1/2 red bell pepper chopped
  • 2 cups grated carrot
  • 2 green onions chopped, for serving
For the Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup Coconut aminos  or liquid aminos
  • 1 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 Tbsp coconut sugar
  • 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tsp fish sauce optional
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the ingredients for the sauce to a bowl and whisk until well-combined. Set aside until ready to use.
  2. Heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat and add the ground turkey. Allow the turkey to brown on one side for 2 minutes, then flip and allow it to brown another 2 minutes. Use a spatula to break the turkey into smaller pieces.
  3. Add the chopped red onion, garlic, bell pepper and carrots. Cook, stirring often, until vegetables begin to soften, about 2 minutes.

  5. Taste mixture for flavor and add sea salt and/or more liquid aminos or sriracha to taste.
  6. Serve with choice of side dishes and enjoy!
