Ingredients  

  • 1 pound uncooked pasta, such as spaghetti or bucatini
  • 1/4 cup seasoned rice wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
  • 3 Tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 Tablespoons packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 Tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 cup small diced red bell pepper
  • 1 pound ground chicken or turkey
  • Sliced scallions, for garnishing

Instructions 

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook it until al dente. Drain and transfer the paste to a large bowl. 
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the rice wine vinegar, chicken broth, peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar and sesame oil. Set it aside.
  • Add the olive oil to a large sauté pan set over medium-low heat. Once hot, add the garlic, ginger and red bell peppers and cook, stirring constantly, until the garlic is golden brown, about 2 minutes.  
  • Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until cooked through and no longer pink.
  • Add the prepared sauce to the pan and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook it for 2 minutes or until thickened slightly. 
  • Add the turkey mixture to the bowl with the pasta and toss to combine. Garnish with scallions and serve.
