Easy Meals: Turkey Stir Fry
This is a as needed type of recipe. I will give you ingredients, you choose how much, depending on how many you serve.
chopped onion
sliced strips of green bell pepper
chopped mushrooms
chopped or whole carrots (whichever you prefer)
chow mein noodle or thin spaghetti
chopped broccoli
ground turkey
soy sauce
sugar
extra virgin olive oil
Ok so first things first, make sure you have prepared and chopped everything up. Take a skillet and pour in about two caps olive oil then put a little soy sauce and sugar in, just enough so you can have a dark color of oil. You don't wanna put a lot because it will taste too salty or sweet, you want a good balance, so make sure you put the same amount of both, depending on how much you make. You are going to throw your onion and pepper in letting them saute on medium heat. While that's going you're going to boil water for your noodles and if you have tools to steam, steam the broccoli, if not you'll leave it alone for now.
Once the water boils put the pasta in, a little salt and some oil, and make sure to keep pushing it back and forth, you don't want it to stick together. Use a spoon with holes and place your onion and bell pepper to the side on a plate. Take your mushrooms and do the same that you did with the onion. Repeat the same process for the carrots and broccoli. But when you do the broccoli put a top over it, a little bit of water in the pan you're using and let it steam a little while its soaking up the rest of the mixture. If you need or want to add more oil, sugar, and soy sauce, go right ahead. Just make sure you are watching yourself and don't go overboard, you want a light taste nothing heavy.
Once all the veggies are done place them to the side and put only oil in the pan and cook your ground turkey. Once its done, place your veggies back into the pan and mix it all together. Your noodles should be done, well before this, but you can always turn them off and just let them sit in the hot water until you are ready. Drain the water off and you can do one of two things here. You can put a little oil, sugar and sauce, directly on the noodles and just mix them a little, or you can get a bowl or plate, put the noodles on the bottom and the veggies on top and mix it so that the flavors from the veggies and meat get through the noodles. It doesn't matter, its all up to you which way you want to do things.
But eat it hot or cold, it actually can go both ways, but hot is better, and have fun eating.
