1 tsp of paprika
3 tbsp of vegetable oil

1 tbsp of peanut butter

1 lime, cut in wedges

Directions
- Boil 2 liters of water. (The water will be used later to cook the noodles). In seperate bowl, mix all the ingredients of the sauce.
- Pat dry the turkey scallops with paper towel. Rub with salt, pepper and paprika. Heat a large deep skillet under medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp of vegetable oil and the turkey scallops. Cook until fully cooked, 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the scallops from the skillet and cut into 1 cm (1/2”) cubes.
- Place the rice noodles in the hot water and let soften for 1-2 minutes (1 minute less than what the package recommends). Drain the noodles.
- In the same skillet, add the rest of the vegetable oil and the eggs. Mix every 20 seconds to let the egg cook in pieces and form a bit of color, 1 minute total. Add the cabbage, cook until soften while mixing, 2-3 minutes.
- Add the bell pepper, the noodles, the turkey and the sauce to the skillet. Cook 1 minute while constantly mix to incorporate all the ingredients.
- The pad thai is now done! Top with the peanuts, the bean sprouts and the lime wedges.
SUBSTITUTIONS – Since we do not always have success when going outdoors or not everyone practices hunting, fishing or picking. here are a few ideas to substitute the harvested ingredients:
- The wild turkey breasts can be replaced with grocery bought pork loin, chicken thighs, shrimps or tofu.
- The wild turkey breasts can be replaced with 4-5 grouse breasts, pheasant, or any upland bird.
