Turkey and Thai food may not know each other well, but they're about to become best friends. A sweet stir-fry sauce made with peanut butter and ginger turns turkey and leftover rice into a tasty plate.

3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon peeled and minced fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup rice vinegar
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon crunchy peanut butter
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 pound turkey breast cutlets, cut into thin strips
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups chilled cooked rice
1/4 cup chopped green onions
3 tablespoons chopped unsalted, dry-roasted peanuts
sliced green onions (optional)
Combine the brown sugar, ginger, red pepper flakes, rice vinegar, soy sauce, water, and peanut butter in a small bowl and stir with a whisk until mixed.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and garlic and cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes or until the turkey is cooked through.
Add the cooked rice and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes. Remove the turkey and rice mixture from the skillet and keep warm.
Add the peanut butter mixture to the skillet. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and let cook for 3 minutes.
Return the turkey and rice mixture to the skillet and cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes or until everything is coated in the sauce.
Remove from the heat and stir in the green onions and peanuts. Serve immediately, garnished with additional green onions if desired.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
