Korean Beef Noodles

Ingredients

• 12 ounce linguine noodles
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 4 cloves minced garlic
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 3/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
• 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 package frozen broccoli

Directions

1. Cook 12 ounces linguine noodles al dente according to the package instructions. Drain the noodles and set aside.
2. Add broccoli to microwave, cooking for 1/2 the time on the package - you will add this in the next step.
3. In a Dutch oven, add 1 pound lean ground turkey over medium-high heat. Cook and crumble the meat, adding the partially steamed broccoli after 3 minutes. Continue to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the meat is no longer pink and the broccoli is heated through. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup packed brown sugar, ½ cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Pour the sauce mixture over the ground beef and simmer for 1-2 minutes.
5. Add the cooked noodles to the meat mixture and toss to combine. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
