Ingredients

    2 tsp (10 mL) sesame oil

    2 tsp (10 mL) canola oil

    1 1/2 lbs (625 g) ground turkey

    1 tsp (5 mL) minced garlic

    1 tsp (5 mL) minced ginger

    2 Tbsp (30 mL) soy sauce

    1/2 cup (125 mL) green lentils

    1/2 cup (125 mL) quinoa

    1 1/4 cups (325 mL) low-sodium chicken broth, divided

    3 medium zucchinis, spiralized

    1 large carrot, spiralized

    1/2 cup (125 mL) diced green onion

    2 Tbsp (30 mL) sesame seeds

    THAI SAUCE:

    3 Tbsp (45 mL) soy sauce

    1 Tbsp (15 mL) maple syrup

    1 Tbsp (15 mL) peanut butter

    1 Tbsp (15 mL) rice vinegar

    1 Tbsp (15 mL) water

    1 tsp (5 mL) sesame oil

    1/2 tsp (2 mL) minced garlic


Directions

  1. Heat oils in a large, deep, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat, and cook ground turkey until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, soy sauce, lentils, quinoa, and 1 cup (250 mL) broth. Stir well, bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, cover and let cook for 10-15 minutes until quinoa and lentils are cooked.
  2. Prepare sauce by adding ingredients to a small, microwavable bowl. Microwave for 30-40 seconds, until peanut butter softens. Whisk well until combined and set aside.
  3. When lentil mixture is done, move it to one side of the skillet with a spatula. Add remaining ¼ cup (75 mL) of broth to the empty side of the skillet, and add vegetable noodles. Cover, turn to medium-low and steam for a few minutes, until vegetables are tender-crisp and bright in colour.
  4. To serve, divide vegetables noodles into each bowl, top with turkey mixture, add Thai sauce, and garnish with green onion and sesame seeds.
