Turkey and Green Bean Basil Stir-Fry

Cook Time20 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 pound ground turkey (preferably dark meat)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
  • 12 ounces green beans, snipped and cleaned
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha, such as Yellowbird
  • 3 tablespoons coconut aminos, such as Big Tree Farm Brand
  • 1 cup packed basil leaves

For Serving:

  • steamed cauliflower rice or jasmine rice (cauliflower rice to keep it Whole30)

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 cooked 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 until crisp-tender, about 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 toss to combine.
  • Add the sriracha, coconut aminos, and basil leaves and cook 2 more minutes.
  • Serve over prepared rice, cauliflower rice, or alone!
