Instructions
Make your toasted rice powder if you haven’t, following the directions in the link provided above.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet on medium heat.
Add the ground turkey and cook until browned and cooked through entirely with no pink parts. Make sure you break up the turkey, so they are small clumps vs. large clumps.
After the turkey is cooked, turn the heat off and take the skillet off the heat.
Fold in the sliced shallots until they wilt slightly.
Add the fish sauce and lime juice and mix well. Taste a little bit of the turkey. If you want more salt- add more fish sauce. If you want more sour – add more lime juice.
Add the toasted rice powder and the ground red pepper. Taste again and adjust the pepper based on your desired level of spiciness. Mix well.
Finally, add the coriander and fold it into the ground turkey.
Serve with a choice of salad or grains along with a wedge or two of lime for additional flavour. I served this on top of some salad greens and zucchini noodles, and it was terrific.
