Orange Ground Turkey
This simple Orange Ground Turkey skillet is bursting with bold citrus flavor and comes together in about 20 minutes!
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest, (about the amount from one orange)
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons white granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 lb uncooked 99% lean ground turkey breast, (or ground chicken breast)
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger root
- 2 teaspoon minced garlic
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 scallions, sliced
Instructions
- Combine the vinegar, orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil in a bowl and whisk together to mix. Set aside. In a small dish, stir together the cornstarch and water until cornstarch is dissolved. Set aside.
- Add the canola oil to a large saute pan or skillet and bring over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the ground turkey and stir to break it up and coat it in the oil. Cook the ground turkey for about 5 minutes, breaking up with a spoon to break into chunks and stirring occasionally, until the turkey is cooked through. Add the ginger, garlic, and crushed red pepper and stir together. Cook for another 30-60 seconds.
- Stir the sauce from step one and add it to the pan. Stir to coat the meat and bring the sauce to a boil. Stir in the cornstarch slurry from step one for about 30 seconds until the sauce is thickened. Sprinkle with scallions before serving.
