Now living in Jacksonville, I do miss a few things from California that I put at the top of my list each time we visit Southern California. One of these things we’re lucky to have brought to our new home thanks to my Mom. This is Turkey Grain! I remember being in a Trader Joes in San Diego one day after church when they were sampling this amazing dish! We find ourselves eating it at least once a week and we’d love to share it with you today!
In order for this dish to work you’re going to need only 3 main items. These items are Trader Joe’s Harvest Gain, Jenny-O Ground Turkey and General Tso’s Sauce.
The Harvest Grain can only be purchased at Trader Joe’s. Dear Trader Joes, please come to Jacksonville!!!! The Ground Turkey & Iron Chef General Tso’s Sauce can be found at your local supermarket. Here are the directions:
Step 1: Bring a pot of water on the stove to a constant boil. Put half of the Grains bag into the pot. Stir a few times. Let it come back to a boil. After it is back to a boil. Let it boil for 10 min.
Step 2: While the pot is coming back to a boil. Cook the ground turkey on the stove and get it into as many small ground pieces as possible.
Step 3: After 10 min of boil. Pour water out of the pot. Then put it into the pan with turkey. Mix it all together.
Step 4: Pour the entire bottle of General Tso’s sauce into the grain and turkey. Stir and let it simmer for 10 min while stirring every 2 min.
Congratulations! You have successfully created Turkey Grain!
To add something fun to the mix, Scarlett came up with the idea of adding some chopped up asparagus! It makes it 10x better!
If you do end up making this, please let us know and post a photo of it on our facebook page!!
