SWEET AND SPICY GROUND TURKEY STIR-FRY



Sweet and Spicy Ground Turkey Stir-Fry image

I put this together for a light meal when I noticed that we had too big a collection of half-bags of frozen vegetables and little containers of leftover cooked veggies. The kind and quantity of the vegetables can vary according to what you have -- you just need to end up with between 2 and 3 lbs. Some people prefer a more generous amount of thickened sauce on their stir-fry dishes. With a diabetic in the house, I skip that part but I've included the directions if you want it.

Time 25m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 lb ground turkey
2 -3 garlic cloves
1 onion, cut into thin wedges
1 pinch coriander seed, crushed
1/3 cup soy sauce, divided (or to taste)
1 -2 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon sherry wine (optional)
1 pinch red pepper flakes (to taste)
oil
1/2 lb snap peas or 1/2 lb snow peas
1/2 lb broccoli floret
1/2 lb green beans
1 -2 cup spinach
1 -2 cup bok choy, chopped
1 -2 cup napa cabbage or 1 -2 cup Chinese cabbage, chopped
1 carrot, sliced
1 -2 zucchini or 1 -2 yellow squash, sliced
1/2 cup chicken stock (must be cold) (optional)
1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional)

Steps:

  • Brown ground turkey in a little oil over medium-high heat. Drain any excess grease leaving just enough to accomplish the stir-frying process.
  • Add garlic, onion, coriander, and a tbs of the soy sauce. Stir well.
  • Begin adding the vegetables starting with long-cooking veggies like carrots and broccoli (especially if broccoli is still frozen), and working towards the quick-cooking greens but not adding those just yet.
  • Just before adding the greens -- right after adding the beans or snap peas -- add the remaining soy sauce, the sugar, the sherry, and the red pepper flakes. Stir well so that sugar dissolves and pepper flakes are well distributed.
  • Add the greens and complete the cooking.
  • Make the optional sauce if desired by whisking the cornstarch into the chicken stock. Pour into pan just before the greens are done and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has simmered for about one minute.
  • Serve over rice, ramen noodle, or other preferred, Asian starch.

GROUND TURKEY ENCHILADA STIR-FRY WITH COUSCOUS



Ground Turkey Enchilada Stir-Fry with Couscous image

An enchilada, by definition, is a corn tortilla filled with various ingredients and drenched in cheese and sauce. This recipe doesn't involve any rolling of tortillas, nor does it require copious amounts of cheese. However, every bite will remind you of the flavors of this popular comfort food.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup whole wheat couscous
1 pound lean ground turkey
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 cups butternut squash, peeled, seeded and diced
1 cup broccoli florets
One 15-ounce can no-sodium-added black beans
One 10-ounce can enchilada sauce
1/2 cup salsa
Suggested toppings: chopped fresh cilantro, diced avocado, shredded cheese, lime juice

Steps:

  • Pour 1/2 cup of water into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Pour the couscous into the saucepan and stir well. Turn off the heat, cover and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Sprinkle with some salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Drain the excess fat and wipe the pan clean. Heat the oil in the same pan over high heat, then add the squash and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the broccoli and cook, 3 to 5 minutes more.
