In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, cornstarch, brown sugar, and chili flakes. Mix until the cornstarch is fully dissolved, then set this mixture aside.

Drizzle sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking until fragrant.

Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up into small chunks. Cook until there’s no raw pink color left.

Pour in the soy sauce mixture, keeping the heat high. Stir for another 2 minutes until the sauce turns golden brown and starts to thicken (add a tablespoon of water if it becomes too thick).

Toss in chives, reserving some for garnish, and turn off the heat.

Top with sesame seeds and any remaining chopped chives. Serve hot over rice and alongside your favorite steamed vegetables.
