Chicken Free Ginger-Scallion Turkey Skillet
This skillet is the kind of weeknight dinner that tastes like you put in way more effort than you actually did. Ground turkey gets broken down into savory, golden bits alongside tender zucchini, then everything gets pulled together with a glossy sauce built from coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, and warm spices like turmeric and fresh ginger. The aromatics — garlic, scallions, and a double hit of ginger in both fresh and ground form — give the whole dish a bright, punchy depth that makes it feel anything but plain. Coconut aminos does the heavy lifting of a soy-based sauce without any of the usual label-reading stress, and arrowroot starch thickens the sauce beautifully in just a minute or two. Finishing with the dark green scallion tops, a handful of cilantro, and a squeeze of lime brings everything to life right before it hits the table. It all comes together in one pan, which means less cleanup and more time actually enjoying dinner.
