- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced
- 1 bunch scallions, sliced (white and green parts kept separate)

Instructions
- MAKE THE FILLING: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, ginger, scallion whites, and seafood seasoning. Cook until the vegetables start to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the turkey and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until golden, about 5 minutes.
