Notes

I love stir-fry!  It’s a great way to make a complete meal that is flavorful and packed with a variety of vegetables.  Add in broccoli, green and red peppers, water chestnuts, or others.  If you like a bit of spice, add chile flakes to the turkey and/or top with cilantro.
If you are watching your sodium intake, opt for low-sodium soy or tamari sauce.  Change up the protein used to alter the dish or make it vegetarian by using tofu, egg, and/or edamame.
However you prepare it, there probably won’t be leftovers, but if there are, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
