3–4 cloves Garlic (Fresh minced garlic enhances flavor.)
1/4 cup Honey (Creates a sticky glaze; can substitute with maple syrup.)
1/4 cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce (Use tamari for gluten-free.)
1 tbsp Rice Vinegar (Apple cider vinegar works as a substitute.)
1 tsp Sesame Oil (Adds a nutty depth; can omit for a lighter version.)

Prepare the Skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of neutral oil. Allow it to heat until shimmering.
Brown the Turkey: Add 1 pound of ground turkey, breaking it apart. Sauté for 6-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Cook the Garlic: Reduce heat to medium, stir in minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Whisk the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Whisk until smooth.
Combine and Simmer: Pour sauce over turkey, stir to coat, and simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Finish with Green Onions: Stir in most of the green onions, reserving a small amount for garnish.
Serve: Spoon over rice, noodles, or in lettuce cups. Garnish with reserved green onions.

You can customize the level of sweetness and spiciness by adjusting the amount of honey and red pepper flakes.
