Preparation
1
Cook the quinoa: Place the quinoa in a strainer and rinse well. Add the quinoa, water (1 1/2 cup, 3 cups) and salt (1/4 tsp, 1/2 tsp) to a pot. Stir to combine. Bring the water to a boil on medium/high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover and let simmer 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed. Remove the pot from heat and fluff the quinoa with a fork.
2
Cook the Turkey: Heat the oil (1/2 tsp, 1 tsp) at medium heat in a pan. Add the Spiced turkey slices and salt (1/4 tsp, 1/2 tsp) to the pan and cook, steering regularly, until fully cooked – about 15 minutes.
Note: Ensure the turkey is cooked to at least 165F
3
Prepare the vegetables: Cut the lime in segments. Cut the broccoli in small fleurets. Place the broccoli in a glass bowl and steam it in the microwave for about 1 minute to 90 seconds. Shred the carrots. Separate the cilantro leaves.
The coconut milk in the green curry coconut sauce may harden when cold. Heat the green curry coconut sauce in a small pot on medium heat until warm – about 2 minutes.
4
Assemble & Serve: In serving bowls, place the quinoa. Place about 1/3 cup warm green curry coconut sauce on top of the quinoa in each bowl. Arrange the spiced turkey, steamed broccoli, shredded carrot and shredded cabbage on each bowl. Garnish with coconut, lime wedge and fresh cilantro.
