# Directions:

03 - Add a splash of oil to the same skillet if needed. Sauté garlic, ginger, and white parts of green onions for 1 minute until fragrant.

06 - Remove from heat. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions or cilantro if desired. Serve hot.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- Everything cooks in one pan so cleanup is basically nonexistent
- ground turkey absorbs all those bold Asian flavors while staying lean and satisfying
02 -
- Prep all ingredients before you start cooking because stir frying happens incredibly fast
- Crowding the pan steams instead of fries, so use your largest skillet or cook in batches
03 -
- Mix the sauce again right before pouring because cornstarch settles quickly
- Taste a piece of turkey with the sauce before serving to adjust salt or sweetness
