Ingredients
- 1/3 cup Quinoa
- 2 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp Red onion
- 1/4 cup Carrots sliced thin
- 1/4 cup Celery sliced
- 1/2 cup Yellow squash sliced into half circles
- 1/2 Zucchini sliced into half circles
- 1/2 tsp Garlic minced
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger minced
- 6 oz Ground turkey
- 2 inch Lemongrass
- 1/4 cup Canned diced tomato
- 1/2 tsp Rice wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup Chicken broth
- 1 tbsp Reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp Cornstarch dissolved in an equal amount of water
- 1 tbsp Scallions chopped
Instructions
- Cook the quinoa according to the instruction on the package. Once cooked, season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover with a lid to keep warm.
- Heat a nonstick pan on medium heat. Once hot, add the oil. Saute the onion, carrot, celery, squash, and zucchini until the celery starts to soften. Stir in the garlic and ginger; saute until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Crumble in the turkey and brown while breaking it up into smaller pieces until it is no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir in the lemongrass, tomato, vinegar, broth, and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, so the flavor builds.
- Slowly stir the cornstarch mixture a little at a time into the pan to thicken to a creamy consistency. (Add more or less cornstarch slurry as needed) Remove from the heat. Season with salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve with quinoa. Garnish with scallion.
Notes
Pro tip: Use any extra vegetables you would like or have on hand that aren't going to be used.
