bone-broth gochujang ground turkey
ground turkey infused with bone broth, simmered down to be wonderfully savory and juicy, accented with the sweetness and spiciness of gochujang
my boyfriend taught me the art of infusing ground meat (beef or turkey) with bone broth to create a version that was not so dry, not too saucy, and fortified with the many benefits of bone broth: collagen, extra protein, and more. i was in awe as we ate it in a tiny cabin in the middle of the dessert of joshua tree on the last leg of our road trip around california. we had it with beef then, though i much prefer turkey for its leaner contents, but i decided to recreate it and make it my own. i found that gochujang was the perfect complement to such an intensely savory thing; the bone broth and turkey becoming one means the joining of the salt and the overall heaviness of meat as a whole. gochujang provides a wonderful balance with its sugar, sourness, and spiciness. it a perfect protein source for stir-fries, bowls, lettuce cups, or anything under the sun. omit the gochujang and add other spices if you want to make it with a different flavor profile! make it your own.
