- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon allulose, or sweetener of choice
Stir Fry Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil
- 3 teaspoon fresh garlic, minced

The Execution
1. Gather and prep all of your ingredients.
2. Add all of the stir fry sauce ingredients into a bowl, then stir to combine. Set aside.
3. In a pan over high heat, add the avocado oil for the stir fry. Once starting to smoke, add in the garlic and cook until fragrant. About 45 seconds.
4. Add in the onion and bell pepper, stir frying for 1-2 minutes until tender but crisp. Remove to a plate, leaving as much oil in the pan as you can, and set aside.
5. Add in the ground turkey and stir fry in the pan until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Break the turkey apart as it’s cooking.
Ready a second pan for the cauliflower. Add avocado oil and sesame oil to the pan over high heat.
6. Once turkey is starting to brown, add the vegetables and chopped basil into the pan. Stir fry for an additional 30-60 seconds until basil is wilted and fragrant.
7. Add in the stir fry sauce, stirring to incorporate, and cook for 1-2 more minutes until it’s absorbed. Set aside on low heat while you cook the cauliflower.
8. Once the oil is hot, add in the garlic and ginger for the cauliflower rice and cook until fragrant.
9. Add in the cauliflower rice, cooking until moisture is removed. Stir often, and add in the soy sauce about half-way through cooking.
10. Serve the cauliflower rice and turkey immediately. If you have leftovers, store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Enjoy!
