This is a deliciously easy recipe that combines savory ground turkey with crisp green beans in a tangy, Asian-inspired sauce.

If you’re not a fan of coconut flavor, you can use expeller pressed coconut oil or just sub it out for avocado oil. For a chili garlic paste, look for sambal olek in your grocery store – you should be able to find some in the Asian aisle. While you can use sriracha, sambal olek typically has fewer carbs and a bit more chili flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
