Jenny Craig Recipe Creation: Asian Turkey and Green Bean Stirfry

Special thanks to Jenny Craig for their sponsorship of this post.

I’ve been craving Asian flavors lately.  I love spicy, salty, ginger-drenched dishes.  With a package of haricot verts in my refrigerator that was about to go bad, I came up with this idea for a twist on my Jenny Craig Turkey Burger lunch.

Inspired by another NTTC recipe that I posted a few years back, this simple recipe comes together in moments and it’s extremely filling!  I love the addition of extra veggies to a meal to bulk it up (and make it more colorful!)

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients

  

• 1 Jenny Craig Turkey Burger
• 4 scallions, sliced
• 1 clove garlic, minced or crushed
• cooking spray
• 1 tsp. chili garlic paste (sambal oelek)
• 1 tsp. hoisin sauce
• 1 tsp. grated ginger
• 8 oz. washed and trimmed green beans (or Chinese long beans, if available)
• 1 tsp. reduced sodium soy sauce
• 1 tsp. rice wine vinegar
• black sesame seeds, optional garnish

Instructions

 

• Prepare a skillet with cooking spray and heat to medium. Add scallions and garlic; saute for about 2 minutes.
• Cook your turkey burger on a microwave plate for 60 seconds, setting aside the bun.  Note:  I highly recommend leveraging the bun for croutons, toasting them in the oven for a few minutes.  Yum!  You won’t need the bun for this recipe.
• Dice your turkey burger, or place it in the food processor to finely chop.
• Add the turkey to your skillet, and toss to combine.  Add the ginger, hoisin sauce, and spicy garlic paste. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Add your green beans and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.  After 4 minutes, add soy sauce and rice wine vinegar.  Stir to combine.
• Serve and enjoy!  Garnish with black sesame seeds, if desired.
