Asparagus or broccoli florets can easily be substituted for the greens beans. My top tip? Double this quick and easy recipe. You’ll want leftovers!

STEP 1:

Arrow

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pan. Add the turkey, sprinkle with salt, and cook on medium-high until browned and cooked through, flipping once or twice, about 8-10 minutes.

STEP 2:

Arrow

Remove the turkey and set aside, leaving any browned bits in the pan. To the same pan, add an additional tablespoon of oil, the green beans and salt. Cook on medium high, flipping once or twice, until the green beans are browned and slightly tender.

STEP 3:

Arrow

While the turkey and green beans are cooking, make the sauce by combining and whisking together the garlic, ginger, honey, stock, lime juice or vinegar, and tamari until smooth.

STEP 4:

Arrow

Just before adding the sauce, whisk in the arrowroot powder until very smooth.

STEP 5:

Arrow

Add the turkey back to the pan with the green beans. Pour in the sauce, turn the heat to medium, and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes. If you want a thinner sauce, add a splash more chicken stock.
