In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, cornstarch, brown sugar, and chili flakes. Stir until the cornstarch dissolves, then set aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about a minute until fragrant.

Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook while breaking it into smaller pieces until it’s browned and no longer pink.

Pour in the prepared soy sauce mixture and cook on high heat for about two minutes. If too thick, add a tablespoon of water to adjust consistency.

Toss in chopped chives, reserving some for garnish, and remove from heat.

Garnish with sesame seeds and remaining chives. Serve hot, preferably with rice and vegetables.
