Ingredients
| Amount | Ingredient | Grams |
|---|---|---|
| 2 tbsp | olive oil | 27 g |
| 2 | garlic cloves, minced | 6 g |
| 1/2 tsp | black pepper | 1 g |
| 1/2 tsp | salt | 3 g |
| 1 lb | lean ground turkey | 454 g |
| 3/4 cup | cheddar cheese, shredded | 85 g |
| 3 cups | green beans, trimmed | 330 g |
Steps
- Sear. Pat the protein dry and season with the salt and pepper. Sear in the oil until browned and done.
- Side. Cook the green beans until tender (for mash, boil the cauliflower 10 minutes and blend with the butter).
- Sauce. Add the garlic and remaining fat or cream to the pan and scrape up the browned bits.
- Serve. Spoon the pan sauce over the turkey with the green beans.
Why it works
Fat and browned bits carry the flavour while the vegetables keep net carbs low.
Watch out
A dry surface is the key to browning. Wet meat steams.
Done when: Chicken 165°F (74°C); pork 145°F (63°C); steak 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
Fixes
- Sauce split?
- Whisk in a spoon of hot water off the heat.
- Mash watery?
- Steam instead of boiling.
Variations: Add herbs or chili.
Keeps: 3 days.
