Real Simple has a spread each month titled "10 Uses for _______", and the featured ingredient changes. I'm always looking for uses for ground turkey other than turkey burgers and sweet potato shepherds pie, so I ripped the two pages out and tucked them away for later use.
I pulled it out while menu planning last week and settled on the Thai turkey salad. After browning the turkey with a bit of fish sauce and brown sugar, the meat is tossed with cabbage, cucumber, mint, and peanuts. A squeeze of lime juice finishes it off and you're left with a healthy dinner that took all of twenty minutes, just like the magazine promised!
