Leftover Turkey Ramen in Peanut Sauce

Leftover Turkey Ramen in Peanut Sauce

Ingredients

Peanut Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup Barney Butter Smooth Peanut Butter
  • 1 Tbsp. low sodium soy sauce (use tamari or coconut aminos for gluten-free option)
  • 2 tsp. rice vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. chili garlic sauce, more or less to taste
  • 2 tsp. fresh lime juice
  • 1-2 garlic cloves, pressed or grated
  • 2 tsp. ginger root, grated

Ramen Noodles:

  • 2-4 Tbsp. water, warm
  • 3 packages ramen noodles, 3 ounces each (discard seasoning packet)
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cups turkey, cooked and diced
  • peanuts, chopped, for garnish
  • cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients for peanut sauce in a medium bowl and whisk together until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare noodles as directed on the package (do not use seasoning packet). When draining, reserve about 1/4 cup of the pasta water and set aside. If noodles are done before the rest of the dish, toss with a little oil to keep them from clumping together.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the bell peppers and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and start to brown.
  4. Add the cooked turkey and cook for about a minute, just to warm through.
  5. Combine the cooked noodles and peanut sauce. Toss until everything is mixed and coated with sauce. If peanut sauce is too thick, stir in a few Tbsp. of the reserved pasta water at a time until the sauce reaches the desired consistency.
