Ingredients

1 tbsp sesame oil
3 green onions
2 cloves garlic chopped
1 lb ground turkey I used 93% lean
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 cup fresh basil leaves
1 large carrot shredded
Sesame seeds to top
Mint to serve

Cucumber Salad:

1 medium cucumber sliced
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp sesame oil
2 tsp rice wine vinegar
Sesame seeds to top

Instructions

First make the cucumber salad by tossing the cucumbers in the ingredients listed. You can cut the cucumbers any way you like. I like to do spears or slice them super thin with a mandolin. Refrigerate for 20 min up to a few hours!
Heat a medium sized skillet over medium heat.
Add the sesame oil, 2 green onions and garlic. Once fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, add in the turkey.
Break up with a wooden spoon or meat masher (from Amazountil almost cooked through and there’s no more pink.
Add in the basil and soy sauce and stir until the basil is wilted.
Next, I stir the carrots in and remove from heat.
Top with the third green onion as garnish along with sesame seeds. Serve with the cucumber salad and lots of fresh mint!
