This is my take on the classic Korean fried chicken sauce. I like to add lots of green onion and garlic, and not cook this quite as long. The result is a sauce with those ingredients a little more in the flavor profile's forefront. Try to find Korean chili flakes and/or paste if you can. I've used them before and the flavor is great (and obviously more authentic), but if you can't, any hot chili flakes or paste will work.

Ground Turkey Burritos That Will Fool Your Kids
This ground turkey burritos that will fool your kids recipe is a great kid-friendly recipe—your kids will eat the burritos and ask for more! Ground turkey, crushed tomatoes, rice, onions, garlic, and celery are wrapped in red cabbage within a white tortilla shell. We go to many evening swim meets, and our kids love them for an on-the-go dinner. If we told them what was inside, they would say, "Ew!" Make these without cheese for a lighter option.
