Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 lb ground turkey Choose Halal-certified.
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce Use Halal-certified soy sauce.
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper
  • as needed Green onions for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by mincing the garlic and ginger, and measure out the honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. It helps to have everything ready to go!
Cooking
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground turkey. Season it with salt and pepper, cooking until browned and fully cooked. This should take about 7-8 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and minced ginger. Ensure it’s well combined.
  3. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the cooked ground turkey, stirring well to coat evenly. Allow it to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Remove from heat and garnish with green onions, if desired. Serve hot over rice or in lettuce wraps.

Notes

To elevate your Honey Garlic Ground Turkey, consider substitutions like ground chicken or tofu. Keep an eye on the turkey to avoid over-browning, and remember to simmer the sauce lightly for the best glaze. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
