This 20-minute ground turkey skillet with green beans comes together in just one pan! It’s savory, satisfying, and packed full of Asian-inspired flavors.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Serve warm sprinkled with optional toppings - like sesame seeds, cilantro, green onion and hot sauce.
Enjoy as-is or on top of rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice to make a delicious savory grain bowl!
