Recipe Information

Total Time:  30 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 8 ounces snap peas, trimmed
• 1/2 cup fresh mint
• 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts
• Cooked rice

Preparation

1. In a cup, stir the lime juice, soy sauce and honey and reserve.
2. Place a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle with canola oil and add the onions. Stir until the onions start to soften, then reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 5 minutes, until golden and lightly browned in spots.
3. Raise the heat to medium-high. Add the garlic and stir for a minute, then crumble in the ground turkey and add the pepper flakes. Stir, breaking up the meat as it cooks, for about 5 minutes.
4. When the turkey is browned, pour the lime juice mixture over the pan and stir. Bring to a boil and cook until thickened.
5. Sprinkle the peas over the meat and cover the pan to steam them for 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle with mint and peanuts and serve over rice.
