Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 yellow onion chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper chopped
  • 6 oz green beans trimmed and chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 3-4 tbsp hoisin sauce or to taste
  • 1 cup wild rice uncooked
  • salt to taste and a pinch for the rice cooking water
  • 1 lb turkey or chicken breast cooked (or raw) and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce or liquid aminos
  • 2 tsp white vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame seed oil toasted sesame oil (for sauce)
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened peanut butter unsalted
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp sriracha or other chili sauce, plus more to taste

Instructions

  • Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan, add the wild rice and a pinch of salt, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender (about 1 hour 20 minutes for traditional wild rice; check package instructions).
  • While the rice cooks, combine soy sauce, white vinegar, 1 tsp sesame seed oil, peanut butter, honey, garlic powder, and sriracha in a blender and blend until smooth; stir in 3–4 tbsp hoisin sauce and set the sauce aside.
  • Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  • Add the chopped onion and sauté 8–10 minutes until softened and starting to brown.
  • Add the chopped red and green bell peppers, cover, and sauté about 4 minutes until they begin to soften.
  • If using raw turkey or chicken, add it now and cook until mostly browned, about 4–6 minutes, then add the green beans.
  • Add the chopped green beans, cover, and sauté 6–8 minutes until the beans are tender-crisp.
  • If using already cooked turkey, add the chopped cooked meat now and heat through for 1–2 minutes.
  • Pour 3–4 tbsp of the prepared hoisin-peanut sauce over the stir-fry and toss to coat; adjust amount to taste and ensure any raw meat is fully cooked.
  • Serve the stir-fry over the cooked wild rice in bowls.
