Feeling the weeknight rush? Let this 30-Minute Orange Cashew Turkey come to the rescue!

SPONSORED

I love when a delicious meal comes together in 30 minutes and uses simple pantry items. It’s kinda my thaaang…

That’s why I love this 30-Minute Orange Cashew Turkey. Aside from the ‘meat with fruit’ combo that I adore, the needed ingredients are all staples in my cupboard. I aways keep a can of mandarin  oranges on hand. They’re the perfect thing to add to a salad, and truly awesome in this stir-fry. Now that turkey breasts can be found all-year round at most grocery stores, it’s easy to pick one up. Try it, what a tasty twist on the usual…


If you don’t feel like making a side salad, it’s really easy to amp-up the greens by adding 2/3 cup of chopped broccoli, snow peas, sweet peppers or kale to this recipe. Just sauté in a tsp of canola oil to tender-crisp after removing the cooked turkey is step 2. When your veg of choice is cooked, just set aside then proceed to step 3.

I love the crunch of nuts in a dish. Cashews are getting all sorts of positive buzz right now for their nutritional punch so I added them to this recipe. However, if you don’t like the creamy texture, you can use any nut or seeds – peanuts, pumpkin seeds, pistachios or almonds. If you have the extra time, you can roast them for a bit of added flavour.

ENJOY!
