¼ cup chicken broth
¼ cup oyster or hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 ½ pounds lean ground turkey or ground chicken
12 to 16 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
½ cup fresh Thai or sweet basil, chopped or torn into small pieces
INSTRUCTIONS
In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the broth, oyster or hoisin sauce, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, and brown sugar. Set aside.
In a 12-inch skillet set over medium heat, add the ground turkey with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, breaking the meat into small pieces, until no longer pink, 5 to 6 minutes. Off the heat, drain excess grease.
Return the skillet to medium heat. Whisk the sauce to recombine and add to the skillet. Give the meat and sauce a quick stir.
Add the green beans. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until the beans are crisp-tender (add additional time for more tender green beans).
Add the basil. Give everything a good stir to bring the sauce up from the bottom of the pan. Serve immediately. It is delicious on its own or served over hot, cooked rice with flatbread or naan.
NOTES: can used frozen peas or mixed veggies. Also might be yummy to fry an egg in the mixture too.
2 cups of rice was too much with 1 lb of meat. Maybe ok for 1.5 lbs.
