Shine from the Inside Out
Physical activity benefits both the body and the mind. Exercise produces endorphins, which lift your mood. They also curb the stress hormone cortisol and elicit calming brain chemicals, like serotonin and dopamine. Movement can improve our cognition as well, boosting our executive function and decision-making skills. This translates into more thoughtful—and often healthier—food choices.
Ingredient IQ
Sambal oelek is one of our favorite tools to bring heat and flavor to a dish. Sambal is an Indonesian term for a sauce made with chiles, and oelek refers to the mortar and pestle traditionally used to make it. We recommend stirring in one-third for mild heat, two-thirds for medium, and all of it if you like things super spicy.

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep and cook the turkey

  • Cut a small corner from the ground turkey packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the turkey and lemongrass paste, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring to break up the meat, until browned and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
While the turkey cooks, start preparing the remaining ingredients.

2

Prep the remaining ingredients; make the salad

  • Cut the tomatoes in half.
  • Trim the root end from the lettuce; separate the leaves.
  • Using the bottom of a bowl or cup, lightly crush the cashews.
  • Cut the lime into wedges.
  • Strip the Thai basil leaves from the stems; tear any larger leaves, keeping smaller ones whole.
In a large bowl, toss together the turkey, tomatoes, Thai dressing, and as much sambal oelek as you like. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the lettuce leaves to individual plates. Top with the turkey salad, cashews, carrots, and Thai basil. Serve the lime wedges and any remaining sambal oelek on the side.
