Spicy Peanut Salad

Last night I realized that I had forgotten to cook the ground turkey that was in my fridge. I went in the fridge to grab it and saw the fresh mini Napa cabbages that I had purchased from a farm down the road earlier that day. They made me think Asian flavors.

It was 10:30 pm so I was thinking FAST * EASY meal prep! 

I tossed a fair amount of garlic powder, and a few sprinkles of organic soy sauce on the turkey. Then I reached into my freezer and grabbed a big chunk of ginger. I Grated it right on top of the meat (a lot, cuz I love me some fresh ginger!). When there ground turkey was cooked, I let it cool before putting it in the fridge.

This morning when I was ready to make my lunch, I washed and chopped my Napa cabbage. Then I grated one large carrot, and chopped a healthy handful of cilantro. Mixed it altogether in a bowl. Then I tossed my pre-cooked ground turkey on top, and added about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dressing. It was INSANELY good! 

I hope you think so too! 

I wish you a happy healthy cooking! 

Spicy Peanut Dressing - (about 2 servings)

 

  • 1 teaspoon honey or coconut sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon sriracha or 1 tsp chili garlic sauce

  • 1/2 teaspoon pure sesame oil

  • 1- 1.5 tablespoon soy (prefferably organic)

  • 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter

  • Juice of 1/2 a freshly squeezed lime

  • 1 tablespoon water

TURKEY SPICE

  • garlic powder (sorry I didn't measure, so do it to taste!)

  • soy sauce (I prefer to use organic soy)

  • grated fresh ginger (I keep mine in the freezer, makes it easier to grate!)

Unfortunately I didn't measure the turkey spices, but I had about one and half pounds of ground turkey (I think), and probably added about a tablespoon of garlic powder, 2 tabla fresh ginger, & 2 tablespoons of soy.
