Fremgangsmåte

Start with making the cucumber carrot salad, the veggies can marinate and pickle a bit. Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl and toss well. Keep in the fridge until ready to serve. Start the rice, this will take about 20 minutes typically to cook.

Mix the turkey sauce together in a small bowl. Set aside. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet, add the ground turkey, brown for about 8 minutes, soak up any excess liquid with a paper towel. Chop the celery and green onions into small pieces. Add in the minced garlic, ginger, and chopped celery. Flatten the ground turkey in the skillet a bit.

Pour the sauce over the meat. Leave the meat alone to cook (do not mix it for about 4-7 minutes) this will help to caramelize the meat and add a crispy browning effect.

Once you have left the meat for a bit to caramelize add half of the green onions, mix for about another 2 minutes to release the aroma and flavor of the onions then turn off the stove.

Time to serve! Add rice to a plate or bowl and top with the Korean ground turkey mix and the cucumber carrot salad. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chili garlic sauce enjoy.
