Instructions

Heat the oil in a frying pan (skillet) over a high heat.

Add the minced turkey and fry for 5 minutes, breaking up any large pieces as you go, until lightly browned.

Add the garlic and chilli and fry for another 2 minutes.

Add the sugar, hoisin, soy sauce, white pepper and water stir together. Fry for a further 2 minutes, until the turkey minced is a golden brown. Turn off the heat.

Divide the turkey mince between the baby gem leaves.

Top with spring onions, sesame seeds, chilli flakes and finish with a drizzle of chilli sauce before serving.
