Spicy Asian Green Beans with Ground Turkey

Delicious doesn’t get much easier than this Spicy Asian Green Beans with Ground Turkey Recipe! Packed with flavor and quicker than take-out, on the dinner table in less than 20 minutes.

This green bean Turkey stir fry is another example of a recipe where I force myself into creating a delicious (and, accidentally healthy) meal using only ingredients we have on hand. Today it’s ground turkey from the freezer, with green beans and scallions from our garden – I’m a very lucky, right?!?!

And of course that combo is just begging for an Asian twist!!

I mean, let’s be super honest, I’m a little obsessed with Asian flavors and it’s obvious with my Best Crab Kani Salad, Firecracker Grilled Salmon, Sriracha Lime Chicken Thighs and Spicy Tuna Poke Bowl Recipes, right?!?!

My Spicy Chinese Green Beans with Ground Turkey skillet meal, is a quick and easy meal that comes together in just a minutes. It’s delicious served with fluffy white rice but if you’re looking to keep it low carb, keto or paleo friendly serve it with cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles instead.

While I call this recipe “spicy” its not extremely HOT, it’s more of a medium heat. If you want it spicier feel free to add a few pinches of crushed red pepper.
