Ingredients
- 1/4 cup boiling water
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 limes, 1 juiced and 1 cut into wedges for serving
- 1/4 cup fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sriracha hot sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded or cubed cooked turkey
- 8 ounces linguini, broken in half
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 yellow onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 eggs, slightly beaten
- 1 large carrot, grated
- 1/2 cup chopped peanuts
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 cups bean sprouts
- 3 scallions, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
Directions
To make the sauce: In a bowl, pour the boiling water over the brown sugar and stir to dissolve. Add the lime juice, fish sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha and stir. Place the leftover turkey in the pad Thai sauce and let it absorb the flavors while prepping the rest of the dish. Next, prepare the pasta: cook the linguine one minute less than the manufacturer's directions. Drain, and set aside.
Heat the oil in a wok or large saute pan over high heat until very hot, almost smoking. Add the onions and stir fry 1 minute. Add the garlic and stir. Then add the eggs and cook for 30 seconds, stirring. Add the linguini and turkey with sauce and cook, stirring for a few minutes. Remove from heat and toss in grated carrot, peanuts, cilantro, bean sprouts and scallion. Serve with lime wedges, if desired.

I wish I could give this recipe 7 stars, it was THAT good!! I used chicken instead of turkey, and changed the oil to one TBSP olive oil, other than that I made it verbatim. It was amazing!! Just as good as a restaurant!! I will make this often!! I love Melissa's recipes!

Needs a bit of ingredients, but is well worth the effort! I swap turkey with chicken sometimes, and I additionally add at least a 1/2 lb. of jumbo shrimp. Every family member that tries it, loves it!! And, it's pretty healthy, along with being economical use of a leftover.

My kids (8 and 11 and wife loved this! (As did I! I didn't have any turkey in the house so I used chicken -- no big deal. I also didn't have any linguine so I used farfalle, which held on to the sauce nicely. I added extra firm organic tofu too, just for fun, and it worked perfectly (seared it in a skillet first. This is a very tasty dish!
