Peanut Sauce

  • 1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp powdered peanut butter

  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup

Pickled Red Onions

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, whisk vinegar, honey, salt, and water until dissolved. Add onions, garlic, and peppercorns to a jar, pour liquid over, and let sit for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Spread chopped sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, season with salt and pepper, and roast for 25–30 minutes until tender.
  • Cook ground turkey in a pan over medium heat, breaking it apart. Cook until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Add chili powder, paprika, and turmeric.
  • Massage chopped kale with olive oil, lemon juice, and salt until softened.
  • Mix peanut butter powder, water, maple syrup, lemon juice, cayenne, and salt until smooth.

Notes

  • Swap kale with spinach or arugula
  • Use almond butter if peanut allergies are a concern
  • Add avocado for extra creaminess
