SWEET AND SPICY GROUND TURKEY STIR-FRY
I put this together for a light meal when I noticed that we had too big a collection of half-bags of frozen vegetables and little containers of leftover cooked veggies. The kind and quantity of the vegetables can vary according to what you have -- you just need to end up with between 2 and 3 lbs. Some people prefer a more generous amount of thickened sauce on their stir-fry dishes. With a diabetic in the house, I skip that part but I've included the directions if you want it.

Steps:
- Brown ground turkey in a little oil over medium-high heat. Drain any excess grease leaving just enough to accomplish the stir-frying process.
- Add garlic, onion, coriander, and a tbs of the soy sauce. Stir well.
- Begin adding the vegetables starting with long-cooking veggies like carrots and broccoli (especially if broccoli is still frozen), and working towards the quick-cooking greens but not adding those just yet.
- Just before adding the greens -- right after adding the beans or snap peas -- add the remaining soy sauce, the sugar, the sherry, and the red pepper flakes. Stir well so that sugar dissolves and pepper flakes are well distributed.
- Add the greens and complete the cooking.
- Make the optional sauce if desired by whisking the cornstarch into the chicken stock. Pour into pan just before the greens are done and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has simmered for about one minute.
- Serve over rice, ramen noodle, or other preferred, Asian starch.
Tips:
- For the best stir-fry, use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet over high heat. This will help create a nice sear on the turkey and vegetables.
- Be sure to slice the turkey and vegetables thinly and evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
- When cooking the turkey, stir-fry it in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will help prevent the turkey from steaming instead of searing.
- Add the vegetables to the pan in stages, starting with those that take longer to cook, such as carrots and broccoli. This will help ensure that all the vegetables are cooked through but still retain their鮮豔色彩and crisp texture.
- Season the stir-fry to taste with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for some extra spice.
- Serve the stir-fry immediately over rice or noodles.
Conclusion:
This spicy turkey stir-fry is a quick, easy, and delicious weeknight meal. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's sure to please the whole family. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying meal, give this stir-fry a try.
