asian ground turkey


 Asian-Style Ground Turkey Bowl that is low in carbs and packed with protein!

Ingredients:
- One 1.5 - 2 lb package of lean ground turkey
- 1 small onion, sliced thin
- 1 green pepper, diced
- 1 can water chestnuts, chopped
- 4 oz. of frozen corn (half a small bag)
- 3 gloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tsp. ground ginger
- 1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
- 1-2 tsp. Bragg's Liquid Aminos or low-sodium soy sauce
- Pinch of salt and black pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Brown ground turkey and add liquid aminos or soy sauce, and pinch of salt and pepper while cooking.
2. In a separate saute pan, cook onion and green pepper on medium heat for about 8-10 minutes, or until peppers and onions have browned. Reduce heat to low, and add minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes, and remove from heat (you do not want your garlic to burn, as it will become bitter).
3. Add pepper, onion, and garlic mixture and crushed red pepper flakes to ground turkey, once meat is done cooking. Add corn and chopped water chestnuts and mix ingredients together. Let cook until corn is no longer frozen and water chestnuts are warm.

If you need a little bit more, try with brown rice or low-carb tortillas.

Enjoy!
