Garlic Green Bean and Turkey Stir Fry

Directions

1. 1
   In a small mixing bowl, stir together the water, rice vinegar, soy sauce, Hoisin sauce, sugar, cornstarch, ground ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes until combined and set aside.
2. 2
   Drizzle half a tablespoon (1.5 teaspoons) of canola oil and half a tablespoon of sesame oil into a large sauté pan and bring over med-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the ground turkey and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Cook, breaking the meat up with a spatula into bite size chunks until cooked through.
3. 3
   Remove the cooked ground turkey to a side dish and cover to keep warm.
4. 4
   Drizzle the remaining canola oil and sesame oil (1.5 teaspoons of each) into the sauté pan and bring between medium and med-high heat.
5. 5
   Add the shallots and sliced garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until they start to brown (1-2 minutes).
6. 6
   Add the green beans and stir. Cook, stirring regularly, for 5-6 minutes until the green beans start to soften.
7. 7
   Add the sauce from step one to the hot pan and stir to combine with the beans.
8. 8
   Let the sauce get bubbly (should happen right away) and cook like that for 30 seconds before reducing the heat to med-low.
9. 9
   Add the cooked ground turkey back to the pan and stir to coat it in the sauce. Cook another 1-2 minutes to heat through and allow the sauce to thicken.

    Garnish with sesame seeds before serving.
