Spicy Ginger Noodles with Ground Turkey
A healthier spin on a takeout favorite featuring lean ground turkey simmered in a vibrant sauce with fresh ginger, garlic, and crushed red pepper. Protein-packed and tossed with whole grain noodles, crisp vegetables, and topped with fresh herbs for a satisfying bowl that brings the perfect balance of heat and flavor.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces ground turkey (93% lean)
1.5 cups whole wheat spaghetti
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup carrots, julienned
1/2 cup red bell pepper, sliced
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of water to boil and cook whole wheat spaghetti according to package directions. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water before draining.
While pasta cooks, mince the garlic and ginger, julienne the carrots, and slice the bell peppers and green onions.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and break it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon.
Once turkey is nearly cooked through (about 4-5 minutes), add minced garlic and ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add carrots and bell peppers to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until vegetables begin to soften but remain crisp.
Add cooked noodles to the skillet along with soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Toss everything together well.
If the mixture seems dry, add a splash of reserved pasta water to create a silky sauce.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.
