Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

Sauce

  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Stir Fry

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

  • 8 cremini mushrooms, sliced

  • 3 green onions, white and green parts separated, thinly sliced

  • 3 carrots, peeled and thinly sliced diagonally

  • 3 stalks celery, thinly sliced diagonally

  • 1 pound lean ground turkey

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Whisk together soy sauce, honey, gochujang, sesame oil, and garlic in a small bowl; set aside.

  2. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, white parts of green onions, carrots, and celery. Stir-fry veggies, stirring constantly, until crisp-tender, about 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

  3. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in the wok. Add ground turkey and cook, stirring every 15 to 20 seconds, and break up any large chunks, until evenly browned, about 5 to 6 minutes.

  4. Return veggies to the wok and pour sauce over top. Stir to combine and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Top with green parts from green onions and season to taste with salt and pepper.

    Cook’s Note

    You can use Sriracha or sambal oelek instead of gochujang.
