Method

1

Mince garlic and ginger. Dice red onion. Roughly chop Thai basil leaves. Dice bell pepper or other vegetable if using. Combine fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, and chili peppers in a small bowl.

2

Heat coconut oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

3

Add garlic and ginger; cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

4

Add diced red onion; stir-fry for 2 minutes until softened and translucent.

5

Add ground turkey and break it into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the meat is cooked through and crumbly with no pink remaining.

6

Add optional diced bell pepper or other vegetables; stir-fry for 2 minutes until just tender.

7

Pour in the fish sauce mixture and stir well to coat all ingredients. Cook for 1 minute until the sauce is absorbed and fragrant.

8

Remove from heat. Stir in the chopped Thai basil just before serving so it stays fresh and bright.

9

Serve warm over jasmine rice, with rice noodles, or in lettuce cups as desired.
