  • ½ cup peanut butter natural, smooth
  • ¼ cup canned coconut milk
  • ¼ cup warm water
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp Asian chili paste Sambal Oelek
  • 2 tsp fish sauce
  • 2 tsp gingerroot freshly grated
  • 1 clove garlic minced

Stir-Fry

  • 2 tbsp canola oil divided
  • 1 tbsp gingerroot freshly grated, divided
  • 2 cloves garlic minced, divided
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes or to taste
  • 1 lb turkey scallopini* cut into ½" strips
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 ½ cups red cabbage thinly sliced
  • 1 ½ cups sugar snap peas trimmed
  • 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice

Garnish

  • 1 cup bean sprouts blanched, optional
  • ¼ cup salted roasted peanuts chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro torn

  • lime wedges

Instructions
 

Coconut Peanut Sauce

  • In a blender, combine peanut butter, coconut milk, warm water, lime juice, chili paste, fish sauce, ginger and garlic; purée until smooth.

Stir-Fry

  • In large non-stick skillet or wok, heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the oil over medium- high heat. Add half each of the ginger and garlic and all of the red pepper flakes; stir-fry for 1 minute.
  • Season turkey with salt, add to skillet and stir-fry 3 to 4 minutes, until turkey is cooked through. Remove turkey and place in a medium bowl. Add half of the Coconut Peanut Sauce to the turkey and toss until coated. Cover the bowl with a large plate to keep turkey warm.
  • Add remaining oil to the same skillet. Add cabbage, sugar snap peas, red pepper, remaining ginger and garlic. Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes until just tender crisp.
  • Divide rice among 4 plates, top each with vegetables and then turkey. Garnish with bean sprouts, if using, peanuts, cilantro and green onion. Drizzle with some of the Coconut Peanut Sauce. Serve with lime wedges.

Notes

*If you can’t find turkey scallopini, ask your butcher or grocer for it. Alternatively, purchase boneless, skinless turkey breast and slice it thinly.
Pro Tip: freeze turkey breast slightly – it will be easier to slice.
Refrigerate remaining Coconut Peanut Sauce and use as a salad dressing or a dip for vegetables, turkey satay or fresh spring rolls. Stir in a little hot water if you need to thin it out.
Nutrition Per Serving: Based on using half of the total prepared peanut sauce.
