A quick and easy gluten-free and healthy ground turkey and green bean stir-fry recipe that can be on your table in 30 minutes or less.

Szechuan Ground Turkey and Green Beans in a pan

Green bean season is right around the corner and I am pretty thrilled! Of course, they are great on their own, stewed with tomatoes or roasted with bacon, but today I’ve decided to add them to a quick and easy 20-minute stir-fry recipe with ground turkey. Not a turkey fan? Try my Chicken and Green Bean Stir-Fry recipe instead.

Ground turkey and green bean stir fry probably isn’t the first type of meat you think of when making a stir-fry but I’d like to suggest you give it a try. Spicy chili-garlic paste is combined with sweet hoisin, fresh ginger and plenty of garlic to create a delicious and healthy dinner unlike any other.

Substitutions

Of course, if you don’t have ground turkey you can easily swap in chicken, shrimp or tofu. No green beans? Try broccoli, peas, cauliflower or zucchini. Let your farm stand be your guide.

The best part? It makes fabulous leftovers and actually tastes even better the next day! Serve with brown rice and dinner is done in under 20 minutes.

Boom.

Your fork is waiting.

Instructions
 

  1. Pre-heat a large wok or deep pan over high heat and spray with non-stick spray.
  2. Add ground turkey, garlic and ginger.
  3. Using a potato masher or wooden spoon, break down the turkey and cook until browned. (Don’t be afraid of color! Brown = flavor. Move away from the pan for a minute – it’s ok, really!)
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together chicken broth, corn starch, soy, hoisin, rice vinegar and chili garlic paste; set aside.
  5. Once turkey is browned and bits and pieces are sticking to the pan, add in green beans and broth/soy mixture.
  6. Saute 3-4 minutes then add water chestnuts and sesame oil.
  7. Cook an additional minute or two then serve. Great with brown rice.

    Look delicious. Can Sriracha be used instead of “chili garlic paste”? Where do you find chili garlic paste (brand?)?.
    Thanks for such a quick, easy and healthy recipe, I cannot wait to try it!

      Hi Julie! I just added a link to the chili garlic paste so that you can now find it right on Amazon! Otherwise, you can find it in most major grocery stores or Asian markets. If you can’t get your hands on it, I would skip it and just add sriracha before serving (or serve it with sriracha on the table.) Hope that helps! Enjoy!!

    We make this all the time and as you can probably understand as a food blogger, I don’t make a lot of the same meals over and over. Let me know what you think!! Feel free to dial up the spice if your family can handle. :) Enjoy!!!
