Ingredients

For the Dan Dan Noodles:

  • 12 oz gluten-free spaghetti cooked according to package instructions
  • 1-2 tablespoons avocado oil or cooking oil of choice
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 green onions white and green parts chopped
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 4 cloves garlic minced

For the Sauce:

  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 3 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons tamari gluten-free soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic chili sauce
  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

For Garnish:

  • chopped fresh cilantro
  • chopped salted peanuts
  • sriracha

Instructions

  • Cook the gluten-free spaghetti according to package instructions while you make the turkey/sauce.
  • Whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl until evenly combined. Set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the turkey and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Brown the turkey, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.
  • Once the turkey is cooked, add the green onions, ginger and garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the sauce and stir to combine. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the sauce comes to a simmer and starts to thicken slightly.
  • Add the cooked spaghetti and use tongs to toss together. Serve immediately, topping with cilantro and peanuts. Enjoy!

Notes

MAKE IT SOY-FREE: Use coconut aminos in place of the tamari.
MAKE IT PEANUT-FREE: Use almond butter in place of the peanut butter.
