Serves: 2
ingredients
● 1 lime
● 4 tbsp sweet soy glaze
● 6 oz green beans
● 10 oz ground turkey (or chicken)
● 1 crispy fried onions
● 3/4 cup jasmine rice
● 1/4 oz cilantro
● 1 oz sweet Thai chili sauce
● 1 1/4 cup water (for rice)
● 1/4 tsp kosher salt
● 1/4 tsp black pepper
● 1 tsp cooking oil
● 1 tbsp butter
instructions
1. Cook rice
In a small pot, combine jasmine rice, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer.
Cover and cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
2. Prep
Wash and dry produce. Trim green beans if necessary; cut into 2-inch pieces. Quarter lime crosswise. Pick
cilantro leaves and roughly chop.
3. Cook turkey
Heat a drizzle of cooking oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey, season with salt and
pepper. Using a spatula, press meat into an even layer; cook undisturbed until browned on the bottom, 3-4
minutes. Break up meat into pieces and continue cooking until turkey is browned and cooked through, 2-4
minutes more.
4. Cook green beans
While turkey cooks, add green beans to a microwave-safe bowl with a splash of water; cover with plastic wrap
and microwave until tender, 1-2 minutes. (No microwave? Steam beans in a small pot with a splash of water
until just tender, 5-7 minutes.)
5. Finish stir-fry
To the pan with cooked turkey, stir in green beans, sweet soy glaze, and sweet Thai chili sauce. Cook, stirring,
until turkey mixture is thoroughly coated, 1-2 minutes.
6. Finish and serve
Fluff rice with a fork; stir in butter. Season with salt and pepper. Divide rice between bowls and top with turkey
stir-fry. Sprinkle with crispy fried onions and chopped cilantro. Serve with remaining lime wedges.
