Ground Turkey & Green Bean Stir Fry

Serves: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

1.5 lbs ground turkey (93% lean)
12 oz green beans, trimmed and halved
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh grated ginger (or ½ tsp ground)
1 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
½ cup coconut aminos (or low-sodium soy sauce. I actually used tamari sauce.)
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp sesame oil (flavorful)
2 tsp sriracha (for heat)
1 tbsp honey (balances flavor)
Optional: sesame seeds and green onions for garnish

Instructions:

Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through (about 7–8 minutes). Drain excess fat if needed.
Push the turkey to one side. Add green beans and 2 tbsp water to the pan. Cover and steam for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Stir in garlic and ginger and cook another minute until fragrant.
In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sriracha, and honey. Pour into the skillet and stir everything well to coat.
Simmer uncovered for 2–3 minutes until the sauce slightly reduces and coats the turkey and beans.
Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired. Serve alone or over cauliflower rice or jasmine rice.

Want to Lower the Fat Content? Try This:

If you’re looking to lighten it up a bit, here are a few easy ways to reduce the fat per serving without sacrificing flavor:

Swap to 99% lean ground turkey – Saves 5–6 grams of fat per serving
Use less avocado oil or switch to cooking spray – Saves about 3–4 grams
Skip or reduce the sesame oil – Just a little adds flavor, so even 1 teaspoon goes a long way

These small tweaks can bring the fat down closer to 8–10g per serving depending on your preferences and goals.

I love to serve this with rice.

Make sure you start the rice first so it all comes together at the same time.
