- 1 lb ground turkey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sake or dry sherry (optional)
- 1 tbsp mirin or honey
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup snap peas or snow peas
- 2 green onions sliced
- 1 tsp cornstarch

Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sake (or sherry), mirin (or honey), and sesame oil; set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and break it apart. Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.
- Add garlic and ginger to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

- Make a cornstarch slurry by mixing cornstarch with water in a small bowl. Stir this mixture into the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the turkey and vegetables.
- Remove from heat and stir in sliced green onions.
- Serve the stir fry hot over rice or noodles, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.
