I shared this recipe on this week's episode of WGP, and actually made it last night. The original recipe calls for ground turkey, but I used ground chicken, and I think it would be good with ground beef, bison, and even pork too. It's super quick and easy to put together. I have made this several times following the recipe as is, but last night I used 2 cuties for my oranges, and didn't feel like cutting up ginger or garlic so just used garlic powder and ginger powder and it still came out great.

Orange Ground Chicken

Recipe from https://emilybites.com/2021/02/orange-ground-turkey.html, Makes 4 servings

Ingredients​

  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest, (about the amount from one orange)
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons white granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 lb uncooked 99% lean ground turkey breast, (or ground chicken breast)
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger root
  • 2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 scallions, sliced

Instructions​

  1. Combine the vinegar, orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil in a bowl and whisk together to mix. Set aside. In a small dish, stir together the cornstarch and water until cornstarch is dissolved. Set aside.
  2. Add the canola oil to a large saute pan or skillet and bring over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the ground turkey and stir to break it up and coat it in the oil. Cook the ground turkey for about 5 minutes, breaking up with a spoon to break into chunks and stirring occasionally, until the turkey is cooked through. Add the ginger, garlic, and crushed red pepper and stir together. Cook for another 30-60 seconds.
  3. Stir the sauce from step one and add it to the pan. Stir to coat the meat and bring the sauce to a boil. Stir in the cornstarch slurry from step one for about 30 seconds until the sauce is thickened. Sprinkle with scallions before serving.

Anything with ground chicken/turkey in a sauce over rice is fantastic, this is a perfect meal prep lunch too!
 
This looks great. My wife makes a deconstructed egg roll often and we will need to try this instead sometime
 
I've made actual orange chicken before and this seems so much easier than cutting up and breading all the chicken haha. I will be giving this a try, possibly tonight!
 
Making this as I type. No scallions no broccoli but have everything else. Will report back
 
Actually I lied I just found a bag of frozen broccoli cuts in the freezer, will have to do!

It’s delicious. Nice orange flavor without being overpowering. I will make again and use fresh veggies because frozen broccoli isn’t great 🤣

So glad you liked it! Yeah, fresh veggies are definitely better for that, the frozen just get so mushy. And I agree, it's got just enough orange flavor to be tasty without taking over the dish. It's different and that's why I liked it.
 
Sounds and looks delicious
 
I think this has to be something the wife and I make soon!
