Ingredient IQ
Two key ingredients in our stir-fry blend are both coconut-based condiments—coconut vinegar and coconut aminos—although neither is made from the actual coconut. The vinegar is produced from the fermented sap of the tree. Aminos start as the nectar from the blossoms, which is fermented and then blended with sea salt and sometimes water. While the paleo diet has made them both popular, these versatile flavor enhancers deserve a spot in any modern pantry.

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Cook the rice

In a small sauce pot, combine the rice and 1¼ cups [2¼ cups] water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 25 to 30 minutes.
While the rice cooks, prepare the stir-fry.

2

Prep the stir-fry ingredients

  • Peel and thinly slice enough onion to measure 1 cup [2 cups].
  • Snap off the woody ends from the asparagus. Cut the asparagus into 2-inch lengths.
  • Using your hands or a sharp knife, peel the orange; cut the orange in half lengthwise, then crosswise into ¼-inch-thick half-moons. Discard any seeds.
  • Coarsely chop the cilantro for garnish.

3

Cook the turkey

  • Cut a small corner from the ground turkey packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel.
In a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the turkey and sweet sesame stir-fry blend, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring to break up the meat, until lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate. Do not clean the pan.

4

Cook the vegetables; finish the stir-fry

In the same pan used for the turkey, if dry, add 1 to 2 teaspoons oil. Warm over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the asparagus and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the turkey and any accumulated juices, carrots, and orange and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are just tender and the turkey is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the rice to individual bowls and top with the stir-fry. Garnish with the cilantro and serve.
