Best 2 Thai Style Ground Turkey With Chiles And Basil Recipes

THAI-STYLE GROUND TURKEY WITH CHILES AND BASIL

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, fish sauce, lime zest, lime juice and sugar. (If you think your fish sauce is very salty, start with 2 teaspoons; you can add more at the end if the dish needs it.).
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ginger, garlic, jalapeño and chopped scallion. Cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about a minute. Stir in turkey. Cook meat, breaking it up with a fork, until it is no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Stir in soy sauce mixture and cook for a minute or so, until flavors come together. Remove from heat and stir in basil. Scatter with sliced scallion greens. Serve, over warm coconut or regular rice, with lime wedges on the side.

THAI-STYLE GROUND TURKEY STIR FRY

Steps:

• Whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and Agave nectar to make the stir-fry sauce. Cut the onion into thin slivers and cut the red bell pepper into strips. Peel and slice the garlic.
• Heat the wok or large heavy frying pan over high heat for about 1 minute before you add the oil. Then add the 1 tablespoon of oil, heat about 45 seconds (or until it looks shimmery), add the garlic cloves, and cook the garlic just until it's fragrant. When you smell garlic (less than one minute) remove the garlic and discard.
• Add the onion slivers and bell pepper strips to the woke and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes (just until they're starting to soften), then remove to a bowl. Add the other teaspoon of oil if it seem like you need it, then add the ground turkey and stir-fry 5 minutes, breaking apart with a turner as it cooks. Cook the turkey until any liquid evaporates completely and the turkey is starting to get lightly browned.
• Add the vegetables back into the wok, stirring to combine with the meat, and cook about 1 minute. Add the chopped basil and cook about 1 minute more, just until the basil starts to wilt.
• Then add the stir-fry sauce and stir to distribute it in the meat/veggie mixture. Cook about 2 minutes more, or until the sauce is mostly absorbed into the meat and the whole dish is hot. Serve right away.
