Cookware and heat guide

  • Cookware: large pot plus nonstick skillet
  • Heat: medium-high heat
  • Best side: rice noodles

Helpful answer

Prep the sauce before the pan gets hot, keep the protein in one layer, and add the sauce near the end so it coats the food without burning.

Ingredients

What you need

  • 1 lb ground turkey or turkey cutlets
  • 2 cups romaine, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 cup rice noodles
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil, divided
  • 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro and mint
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds or crushed peanuts, optional

Directions

How to make it

  1. Minute 0-5, cutting board and knife: break ground turkey into small pieces or slice cutlets thinly. Cut romaine into bite-size pieces.
  2. Minute 5-8, small bowl: whisk lime juice, garlic, soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, and a splash of rice vinegar. Keep it beside the stove.
  3. Minute 8-10, large pot plus nonstick skillet: preheat over medium-high heat until a drop of water sizzles. Add 1 tablespoon oil.
  4. Minute 10-17, large pot plus nonstick skillet: cook the protein in one layer until browned. Cook turkey until no pink remains and it reaches 165 F.
  5. Minute 17-22, large pot plus nonstick skillet: add romaine and cook until crisp-tender, stirring every minute.
  6. Minute 22-26, large pot plus nonstick skillet: add rice noodles and the sauce. Toss until everything is glossy and hot.
  7. Minute 26-30, serving bowl: turn off the heat, add cilantro and mint, taste, and serve right away.

Tips

Make it yours

  • Keep the pan at medium-high heat; lower the heat if the sauce darkens too fast.
  • Cut romaine evenly so the pieces cook at the same speed.
  • Make the sauce before cooking so the final toss takes less than 2 minutes.
  • For meal prep, store the sauce separately and reheat gently.
