Thai Turkey

We have a lot of turkey leftover to use up from Thanksgiving (Canadian), and we LOVED this. Restaurant taste, and it only took about 30 minutes to make (and that was with two crying children pulling at my legs and trying to push me away from the stove, and begging to be picked up, and me giving in once in awhile)! You could easily make it with chicken and whatever vegetables you like in your stir fry. It's the sauce that shines. I'm even going to try it as the sauce for fried rice. Go try it right now--it's that good!
(Adapted from this recipe. Photo is also from that recipe) 
  • 2 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon chopped cilantro
  • 2 tablespoon honey (I may try subbing brown sugar)
  • 2-3 teaspoons curry powder
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil (or sesame)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (opt--I left it out but Andy would have liked it)
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon salad oil
  • 1/2 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 medium bell peppers, thinly sliced
  • 2-3 cups leftover turkey, coarsely shredded
Mix first 9 ingredients in small bowl and set aside. Heat oil in skillet over high heat. Saute onions and peppers until tender and golden. Add turkey and pour in sauce. Heat through and serve over rice.
