Step 1

In a bowl or cup, whisk all the ingredients for the sauce except the arrowroot. Taste and determine what is needed before whisking in the arrowroot. Add arrowroot, whisk, and set aside.

Step 2

Set a nonstick skillet on high heat. Lightly spray with oil once hot, then add the turkey. Note: adding too much turkey to the skillet can result in a lot of water in the skillet, thereby steaming it inside of searing it, so you may need to brown the meat in batches.

Step 3

Chop up the turkey as it cooks in the skillet. When it is nearly complete (with a few visible pink pieces), sprinkle ginger and arrowroot.

Step 4

Note: Arrowroot helps with browning and creates a thin, barely visible, “breaded” layer on the outer part of the turkey, which absorbs sauce so it clings to the meat

Step 5

Stir and continue chopping to avoid any clumping. Reduce the heat to low and make a hole in the center of the skillet. Ensure the skillet has cooled down and you are not adding the sauce to a piping hot pan. Slowly pour in the sauce in the center of the skillet and stir immediately in the center of the skillet. The skillet should NOT be hot enough to boil the sauce, if so, the skillet is still too hot. Remove from the heat to cool if necessary. Remove the skillet from the heat and continue stirring and folding the turkey in the sauce.
