Leftover Turkey Chow Mein

Do you still have turkey leftovers? Are you tired of hot turkey sandwiches? Turn your turkey leftovers into savory Chinese takeout!

Ingredients:

1 cup cooked turkey (or chicken)

1 carrot, thinly sliced

2 tsps chopped garlic

2 tsps vegetable oil

1/4 tsp sesame oil

1 cup shredded cabbage (bagged coleslaw mix)

1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced

1 celery stalk, thinly sliced

3 oz chow mein noodles (or spaghetti)

1/4 of a red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 1/2 cups bean sprouts

1 green onion, sliced and divided green/white

2 tbsps hoisin sauce

2 tbsps soya sauce

1/3 cup chicken broth

1/2 tsp sugar

1 tbsp cornstarch

Cook noodles as directed on package then drain, rinse in cold water and set aside.

Combine the hoisin, soya sauce, chicken broth and sugar. Do not add cornstarch yet. Set aside.

In a wok or large skillet heat vegetable and sesame oils together to medium heat. Add garlic and stir 30 seconds before adding onion and carrot cooking about 1 minute. Add the cabbage, celery, bell pepper, bean sprouts and the white slices of green onion. Stir fry 2-3 minutes.

Whisk the cornstarch into the sauce and pour into a well in the center of the veggies. Then stir everything together and heat 1-2 minutes.

Mix in the turkey and drained noodles and heat through. Taste for seasoning...I like it as is but you may want to add more soya sauce or salt and pepper.

Garnish with sliced green onion and serve.

Makes enough for 2-3 servings.
