Turkey and Mango Orange Pepper Boats
Ingredients
- 1 boneless, skinless turkey breast cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon canola oil or olive oil
- 1 cup shelled edamame (or frozen peas)
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 mango, peeled and sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped cashews
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 orange peppers, seeds removed, cut into quarters
- salt and pepper to taste
Dressing: (you also can use your favorite bottle dressing in a pinch):
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce (preferably low sodium)
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- dash of hot sauce
- dash of sesame oil
- pepper to taste
Directions:
- Heat oil in a sauté pan. Cook the turkey on medium-high heat until it is cooked through (no pink remains). Season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
- Bring frozen, shelled edamame to a boil. Remove from heat as soon as the edamame floats—drain and cool.
- Mix the edamame, green onion, mango, cashews, and parsley in a bowl. Add the turkey and mix the ingredients. (This mixture can be made one hour or the day before and stored in the refrigerator.)
- Stir all ingredients of dressing together in a small bowl or jar. Add to the turkey mixture.
- Spoon into pepper halves and top with chopped cashews. Enjoy!
