Ingredients
For Peanut Sauce
- 1/4 cup peanut butter natural, unsweetened
- 1 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce use tamari or coconut aminos for gluten free
- 2 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoons Chili garlic sauce more or less to taste
- 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
- 1-2 garlic cloves pressed or grated
- 2 teaspoon ginger root grated
- 2-4 tablespoons warm water
For Ramen noodle bowls
- 3 packages ramen noodles 3 ounces each, discard seasoning packet
- 1 TBSP olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 2 cups cooked turkey diced
- chopped peanuts optional, for garnish
- chopped cilantro optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Combine ingredients for peanut sauce in a medium bowl whisk together until smooth. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, prepare noodles as directed on package (however, do not use seasoning packet). When draining, reserve about 1/4 cup of the pasta water and set aside. If noodles are done before the rest of the dish, toss with a little oil to keep them from clumping together.
- Heat a oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. When hot, add the bell peppers and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softening and starting to brown.
- Add the cooked turkey and cook for about a minute, just to warm through.
- Add the cooked noodles and peanut sauce. Toss until everything is mixed and coated with sauce. If peanut sauce is too thick, stir in a few tablespoons of the reserved pasta water at a time until sauce is at desired consistency. Top with chopped peanuts and cilantro and serve.

Notes
- Substitute any pasta, spaghetti or rice noodles would both work.
