Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground turkey
• 1 pound Asparagus
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and trim the asparagus by removing the tough ends, then cut into 2-inch pieces.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and chicken broth until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the ground turkey, season with salt and black pepper, and cook until fully browned, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula. Remove the turkey from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet, then add minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the asparagus to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender. If desired, sprinkle in red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.

Step 7

Return the cooked turkey to the skillet and toss with the asparagus.

Step 8

Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet and stir everything together to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.

Step 9

Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
