Rinse the Thai basil and pick the leaves from the stems. Set aside.
Thinly slice the shallot, mince the garlic, and chop the Thai chilies.
Cut the green beans into half-inch pieces.
In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by combining dark soy sauce, honey, fish sauce, oyster sauce, and chicken bouillon powder. Mix well.
Heat cooking oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced shallots, minced garlic, and chopped chilies to the hot pan. Sauté until fragrant and the shallots become translucent.
Add the ground turkey to the pan. Use a spatula to break up the meat and cook until it's no longer pink.
Add the chopped green beans and pour the sauce over everything. Stir to combine.
Add the fresh Thai basil leaves and toss everything together until the basil is just wilted.
Serve immediately over steamed rice and top with a fried egg, if desired.
