Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the mother sauce, soy sauce, ground ginger, dry sherry, and garlic clove to create the stir-fry sauce.
  2. Heat the sesame oil and corn oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering.
  3. Add the fresh chopped vegetables (broccoli, snow peas, etc.) to the hot oil and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender.
  4. Add the drained water chestnuts and bamboo shoots to the pan and continue to stir-fry for another minute.
  5. Add the leftover turkey to the skillet and stir-fry until the turkey begins to brown slightly and is heated through.
  6. Pour the sauce mixture gradually over the turkey and vegetables, stirring constantly.
  7. Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats all the ingredients evenly.
  8. Remove from heat and discard the garlic clove if desired.
  9. Serve immediately over steamed rice.
