Ground Turkey and Tofu14 ounce package water-packed firm tofu, drained and cut into 1-inch cubes
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
1 pound ground turkey breast
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1/2 cup frozen baby green peas, thawed
1/4 cup chopped green onions
Set tofu on several layers of paper towels and cover with additional paper towels. Let stand 30 minutes, pressing down occasionally to dry off.
In a large bowl, mix salt, white pepper, and turkey in a large bowl.
In a medium bowl, whisk together hoisin, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch, pepper, and garlic.
Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu and cook 6 minutes or until browned on all sides. Remove tofu from pan and cover to keep warm. Add remaining 1 teaspoon oil in the pan and add turkey mixture. Cook 3 minutes or until turkey loses its pink color, stirring to crumble. Stir in hoisin mixture, tofu, and peas. Cook 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Sprinkle with green onions.

ReplyDeleteLet me know what you think if you get around to trying it!
ReplyDeleteI've given tofu more flavour by marinating it prior to finishing it - next time (if there is one) brown it, then let it sit in the sauce mixture, stirring occasionally, until you're ready to add them.
ReplyDeleteI used only 1/2 lb. turkey - not from the breast, but the usual 7% fat kind - and found it necessary to add a bit of water at the end to avoid sticking. I also added the peas at the last moment. I like them barely cooked. This was really good - a keeper.
ReplyDeleteDelicious! Marinate the tofu beforehand for some extra kick. Cut the tofu cubes up smaller as well.
