Turkey and Green Bean Basil Stir Fry
An easy, 5-ingredient Whole30 Dinner!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt, or more to taste
- 1/2 tsp black pepper, or more to taste
- 12 ounces green beans (snipped and cleaned)
- 1 tbsp Yellowbird Sriracha Sauce (be sure to get the one without sugar added)
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos (I like Big Tree Farm Brand)
- 1/2 cup packed basil leaves
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat with avocado and toasted sesame oil. When hot, add the ground turkey, salt, and pepper and cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until cooked through (no longer pink), 5 to 7 minutes. When cook through, set heat on low and keep warm while you prepare the green beans.
- Meanwhile, bring a large skillet of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the green beans and cook for 3 minutes. Transfer the par-cooked green beans to a bowl of ice water to shock the green beans and lock in the green color.
- Increase the heat in the wok back up to medium-high heat. Drain and transfer the green beans to the wok and cook, tossing often, until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the sriracha, coconut aminos, and basil leaves and cook 2 more minutes.
- Serve and enjoy!

My family loved this dish! My kids never eat fresh green beans and they ate these🙌🏽! Thank you for this easy yet flavorful and quick dinner!
So glad to hear it! This is a favorite of mine too. If you have SideDish Creamy Sesame, I made a version using that too. So simple, so good!
Has anyone frozen it? I made a huge batch for meal prep..,
This amazing recipe has been in steady rotation for a couple of years but I had to share last night’s tweak. Instead of blanching the green beans, I blistered them in the air fryer while browning the turkey and then added them to the stir fry. Soooo good!!
Yum!
WOW! This recipe is incredible. I made this for meal prep and served over some brown rice. It’ll definitely be on repeat!!
Super tasty & easy! I added a little umami seasoning at the end and we loved it! I doubled the recipe for leftovers the next day & served over TJ’s brown rice!
This recipe is soooo good and simple! Didn’t have basil but it was still amazing and very flavor. Adding this as a staple!
