Notes
Pro Tip: Store the peanut sauce or dressing separately in small containers and add it just before eating to keep everything crisp and fresh.
Meal Prep: Cook the ground turkey up to three days in advance and store in the fridge for quicker assembly during the week.
Protein Swaps: Mix it up by using shrimp, chicken, or tofu instead of turkey for variety.
