Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1/2 red onion finely chopped
  • 2 large carrots peeled and chopped
  • 1 bunch radishes chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger peeled and grated
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce see note
  • 2 medium zucchini squash chopped
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt to taste
  • 1 bunch chives chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Equipment

  • 12-inch deep skillet
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • grater (for ginger)
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons avocado oil in a 12-inch deep skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the finely chopped 1/2 red onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the chopped carrots, chopped radishes, and 1 tablespoon grated ginger to the skillet, cover, and cook 3 minutes.
  4. Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add 1 pound ground turkey to the empty side. Brown on one side 2–3 minutes, then flip and brown another 2 minutes.
  5. Stir the turkey and vegetables together, then add 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce, the chopped zucchini, 2 cups baby spinach, and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt.
  6. Cover and cook until the turkey is cooked through and vegetables are tender, about 4–5 minutes. If excess liquid remains, increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring, until most liquid evaporates.
  7. Serve topped with chopped chives and 1 tablespoon sesame seeds.
