Instructions
Remove the 16 oz. cauliflower rice from the freezer and let it thaw on the counter while you prep the other ingredients.
Cut the onion into slivers. Remove seeds from the red bell pepper and cut into strips. Cut the zucchini into half-moon slices. Chop the cilantro and set aside. Have the curry paste, coconut milk, chicken broth, and lime ready.
Heat 1 T peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and break it apart with a spatula. Cook at least 5 minutes, until most of the liquid has released and evaporated and the turkey begins to brown.
Transfer the browned turkey to a plate, including any juices that collect on the plate. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel.
Add the remaining 1 T peanut oil to the same skillet and heat over medium-high. Add the onion and cook about 3 minutes, until the onion softens.
Add 4 T Thai red curry paste (use less if you prefer a milder curry) and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
Pour in the can of coconut milk and 1 cup chicken broth. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer. Taste the sauce and add more curry paste if you want it spicier.
Add the zucchini slices and red pepper strips to the simmering coconut mixture and cook about 3 minutes, until they begin to soften.
Add the thawed cauliflower rice to the pan, stir to combine, and cook about 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower rice is heated through and tender.
Return the browned turkey and any juices from the plate to the pan. Stir gently to combine and cook an additional 2–3 minutes, until the turkey is completely heated through.
Stir in the chopped cilantro and 1–2 T fresh-squeezed lime juice. Add more lime juice at the table if desired.
Serve hot, with fresh lime pieces available for squeezing at the table if you like. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently in a pan over low heat.
