Ingredients

Directions

Cook the noodles as the label directs, then drain and toss with 1 tablespoon roasted peanut oil. Meanwhile, whisk the lime juice and 2 teaspoons teriyaki sauce in a small bowl. Combine the jalapeno (remove seeds for less heat), ginger and lime zest in a mini food processor and pulse until finely chopped, or finely chop with a knife.

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon roasted peanut oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until soft, 5 minutes. Add the ginger mixture and cook, stirring, until toasted, 1 minute. Add the bell peppers and cook, stirring, 3 more minutes. Add the turkey and the remaining 2 teaspoons teriyaki sauce; cook, stirring, until the meat is cooked through, about 5 more minutes.

Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice mixture, cashews and herbs. Pile the noodles and turkey mixture in the lettuce leaves. Serve with lime wedges.

    We really enjoyed this recipe. I pretty much make it as instructed. My husband prefers it with cilantro as opposed to mint.

    This was just okay. There wasn't anything that wowed my husband or I about it. I substituted a habanero pepper for the jalapeno to add more spice, and used a green bell pepper in place of a yellow. On the plus side, my children (3 and 2 years old loved this.

    We really enjoyed this recipe. I forgot to add the jalepeno peppers and the rice noodles. But, we didn't miss it. I also substitued a green pepper for the red pepper.
