  • 1/4 cup boiling water
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 limes, 1 juiced and 1 cut into wedges for serving

  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha hot sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded or cubed cooked turkey

Method

  • To make the sauce: In a bowl, pour the boiling water over the brown sugar and stir to dissolve.
  • Add the lime juice, fish sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha and stir.
  • Place the leftover turkey in the pad Thai sauce and let it absorb the flavors while prepping the rest of the dish.
  • Next, prepare the pasta: cook the linguine one minute less than the manufacturer's directions.
  • Drain, and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a wok or large saute pan over high heat until very hot, almost smoking.
  • Add the onions and stir fry 1 minute.
  • Add the garlic and stir.
  • Then add the eggs and cook for 30 seconds, stirring.
  • Add the linguini and turkey with sauce and cook, stirring for a few minutes.
  • Remove from heat and toss in grated carrot, peanuts, cilantro, bean sprouts and scallion.
  • Serve with lime wedges, if desired.
