# Steps:
01 -
Heat a large frying pan with olive oil and cook the turkey until fully browned. Add garlic and ginger, cook for 2 minutes, and mix in chili paste, honey, vinegar, soy sauce, fish sauce, and green beans. Stir occasionally for about 5 minutes, then fold in basil. Remove from heat.
02 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Once the turkey mixture has cooled slightly, stuff the pasta shells with as much filling as possible. Arrange tightly in a baking dish.
04 -
In a measuring cup, mix coconut milk with soy sauce and sambal chili paste until combined.
05 -
Evenly distribute torn pieces of provolone cheese over the stuffed shells. Pour the coconut mixture over the shells until the liquid reaches three-quarters of the way up.

Bake for 25 minutes until the cheese is fully melted, the sauce is bubbling, and the edges are golden brown. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
