Can I use ground turkey or chicken instead?

Yes, both work great as leaner alternatives. The cooking time remains the same, though you might want to add a bit more oil since these meats are leaner.

What if I don't have fresh ginger?

While fresh is best, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of ground ginger in a pinch. The flavor won't be quite as bright, but it will still be delicious.

Can I make this less sweet?

Absolutely. Reduce the brown sugar to 1 tablespoon or even eliminate it entirely if you prefer a more savory profile.
