• 200g asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1. Prep: Mince garlic and grate ginger. Trim and cut asparagus. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mandarin orange juice, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Set aside.
2. Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Drain any excess fat from the turkey.
4. Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Add asparagus to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.

7. Stir in the chicken broth and cook for an additional minute, ensuring everything is well combined and heated through.
