Categories     Salad     Sauce     turkey     Side     Fry     Vegetarian     Broccoli

Yield serves 4, 1 cup per serving

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon soy sauce (lowest sodium available), divided use
1 tablespoon dry sherry
12 ounces turkey scallopine (thinly sliced turkey breast) or boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, all visible fat discarded
Pepper to taste
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup water and 1/4 cup water (plus more as needed), divided use
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 medium green onions, minced
1 medium fresh jalapeño, seeds and ribs discarded, minced, or crushed red pepper flakes to taste (optional)
1 tablespoon bottled minced garlic or 6 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon minced peeled gingerroot
1 1/2 teaspoons canola or corn oil and 1 1/2 teaspoons canola or corn oil, divided use
1 pound broccoli florets

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce and the sherry for the marinade.
  • Cut the turkey across the short side into slivers about 1/4 inch wide and 2 inches long. Stir into the soy sauce marinade. Season with the pepper. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, 1/4 cup water, sugar, and remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Whisk in the cornstarch. Set aside.
  • In a separate small bowl, stir together the green onions, jalapeño, garlic, and gingerroot.
  • Heat a 12-inch skillet (cast-iron preferred), a wok, or a Dutch oven over high heat for a full minute. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons oil, swirling to coat the bottom. Stir in half the turkey. Cook for 2 minutes, or until it starts becoming opaque, stirring constantly. Transfer to a serving bowl. Repeat with the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil and turkey, plus any remaining marinade.
  • Stir the green onion mixture, broccoli, and remaining 1/4 cup water into the skillet. Cook, covered, for 3 minutes.
  • Stir the lemon juice mixture to disperse the cornstarch. Stir this mixture and the turkey into the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in more water to thin the sauce if necessary.
  • Vegetarian Stir-Fry
  • Omit 2 tablespoons soy sauce, the sherry, turkey, and pepper. Beat 1/2 cup egg substitute with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Chop 4 medium green onions. In a 12-inch skillet (cast-iron preferred), a wok, or a Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon canola or corn oil over high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the green onions for a few seconds, stirring constantly. Add the egg substitute mixture. Cook until softly set (no stirring needed). Transfer to a plate. Continue as directed above, replacing the turkey with the egg substitute mixture.
  • Cook's Tip on Stir-Frying
  • Old-fashioned cast-iron skillets are excellent for stir-frying. Black metal absorbs heat well, and the iron will hold onto the heat after you add the meat and vegetables.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your stir-fry taste its best. Look for tender-crisp broccoli, lean turkey, and a flavorful stir-fry sauce.
  • Cut your ingredients into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. Aim for pieces that are about 1-2 inches in size.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too much food to the pan at once, it will steam instead of stir-fry. Cook the ingredients in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the food over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the meat and vegetables. Stir the food constantly so that it doesn't burn.
  • Use a flavorful stir-fry sauce: There are many different stir-fry sauces available, so choose one that you like the taste of. You can also make your own sauce using soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic.
  • Serve the stir-fry immediately: Stir-fry is best served hot and fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can reheat it gently over low heat.

Conclusion:

Turkey and broccoli stir-fry is a quick, easy, and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it can be easily customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and satisfying stir-fry that the whole family will enjoy.
