Thai Style Turkey With Noodles
What you'll need:
1 lb linguine or spaghetti pasta
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped (you can buy jars of pre-chopped garlic)
1 teaspoon minced peeled ginger (you can buy jars of pre-chopped ginger)
1/2 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
3/4 cup chicken broth or water
2/3 cup smooth peanut butter
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 cups cooked turkey, shredded
4 celery ribs, thinly sliced
1 cup thinly sliced scallion greens
- Cook noodles in boiling salted
water until tender, about 12 minutes.
- Save 1 cup cooking water and rinse noodles in a colander under
cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Drain well.
- Cook garlic and red pepper flakes in oil in a small saucepan
over medium heat, stirring, until garlic is lightly golden
(careful as garlic
burns fast).
- Whisk in broth, peanut butter, soy sauce, sugar, and ginger
and simmer, stirring gently for 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and whisk in lemon juice.
- Toss together turkey, celery, scallions, noodles, sauce,
and some of the reserved cooking water if you need
to thin the
peanut sauce.
- Serve immediately.
