2 Thai bird chilies, thinly sliced on a bias
2-3 shallots, thinly sliced
5 cloves garlic, sliced
1 teaspoon ginger, grated
1 pound ground turkey or chicken
2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce or coconut aminos
½ - 1 tablespoon fish sauce
⅓ cup water
2 bunches Thai basil leaves
DIRECTIONS
In a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat, add oil, chilies, shallots, garlic, and ginger. Stir fry until slightly golden, about 1 minute.
Add ground turkey, stir fry for 3 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to break up the turkey into small pieces.
Add sugar, coconut aminos, fish sauce. Continue to stir fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until sauce is almost fully evaporated. Add water and stir fry an additional 1-2 minutes until turkey is cooked through and the pan is deglazed.
