For the turkey
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 tablespoons ginger, peeled and minced
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 1 teaspoon Chinese Five Spice
- 1 small spaghetti squash
- 1 tablespoons toasted sesame oil, plue 2 teaspoons for the meat
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar or rice wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon of ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
- 2 green onions, diced and separated
- 1/2 cup snow or snap pea pods
- 1 carrot, grated
- 1 lime
Instructions
- Half your squash and remove seeds. Puncture a few holes in top and place on large plate with a quarter cup of water on your plate. Heat in microwave for about 8 minutes or until flesh is tender. Let cool and using a fork, separate flesh from shell.
- Heat 2 teaspoons of sesame oil in a large skillet. Add the white bottoms of the green onions, garlic, and ginger and heat until fragrant. Add the ground turkey. Season with salt and pepper. Break up meat and stir so it doesn't burn.
- When meat is cooked through, add carrot and peas and cook until slightly softened. Add squash "noodles," additional oil, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic powder, ground ginger and the juice of half the lime. Remove from heat, plate, and garnish with onion greens and remaining lime quarters.
Notes
- We came up with this recipe when doing the Clean Cleanse and it looks like I also added cooked quinoa to the dish - not necessary and haven't used it since, but it would add additional protein if you need it (like we did on this day)! If you are doing the Clean Cleanse, you'd want to use wheat-free tamari sauce in place of the soy.
