This mouthwatering Ground Turkey with Green Beans Recipe, which contains low carbs, is unquestionably a quick and great supper option for your family. In the USA, turkey is a widely used meat source. Americans consumed 5.3 billion pounds of turkey in 2019 alone. So, this equates to 16.1 pounds per person.

Additionally, its consumption is doubled over the last 50 years. Since that time, scientists have discovered that the consumption of this ground turkey with beans contains a lot of health benefits. Turkey is generally healthier than red meat and has a significant nutritional punch. Also, it is commonly used in beef dishes.

Benefits

I’m so glad I decided to try these Chinese Green Beans with Ground Turkey because this is one of the easy ground turkey recipes and the meal was delicious! To make it even better, it takes less than 30 minutes to prepare, making it one of my best recipes for busy days.

My oldest usually turns his nose up at green beans when I make them, but he makes an exception for Chinese green beans. So, I can’t understand that kid. He won’t eat gravy or spaghetti sauce, but he loves sushi and anything smothered in black bean sauce.

It’s hard to say he’s picky exactly. Maybe he just has discerning taste. He’s certainly growing up in the right city. We didn’t have a lot of Asian food options when I was a kid in Mississippi! Fortunately, I’m making up for it as an adult.

Recipe Tips

This green bean stir fry was born for weeknights.

• If you can find Chinese long beans in your supermarket, those make the recipe taste even more authentic. If not, regular American green beans are perfect too. Just make sure they are fresh (not canned!) for a great result. If you don’t have fresh available, try frozen instead.
• Wash 1 pound of Chinese long beans, haricot verts, or green beans, drain thoroughly, and trim the tops and bottoms.
• Also, do not forget to cut the green beans on the diagonal into slices approximately 2 inches long.
• Of course, if you don’t have ground turkey you can easily swap in chicken, shrimp, or tofu. Moreover, no green beans? Try broccoli, peas, cauliflower, or zucchini. Let your farm stand be your guide.

However, no matter how you make yours, I hope you love this Asian ground turkey recipe. Not to mention any questions you have I’ll wait for them in the comments section below. Happy cooking!

Storage Tips

Ø  For the next three to four months in the freezer, ground turkey meat must be kept out of the air to maintain its highest quality. So, put the meat that has been wrapped in an airtight Ziploc bag. Also, use a straw to remove the air before sealing it, or press it flat to remove as much as possible.

Ø It is crucial to label the bag so you can easily recognize the freezer’s contents. Also, it helps in keeping track of how long you’ve kept anything frozen.
