Happy Thanksgiving!

When you're done eating all that turkey, you'll still need some great recipes to use up the leftovers. Here's one of my favorites - Turkey with Snow Peas!

Here's the recipe:

TURKEY WITH SNOW PEAS

8 ounces chicken broth
2 tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
1/4 cup water
1 tbsp. cornstarch
2 tbsp. canola oil
1 bunch scallions, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 carrots, sliced
1 small or 1/2 large green or red pepper, diced
1 lb. leftover turkey, chopped into 1" cubes
4 oz snow peas, strings removed

Make the cooking sauce: In a medium bowl, mix the broth, soy sauce, garlic powder, ginger, and red pepper flakes together.  Set aside.

Make the thickening liquid: In a lidded plastic bowl, put in the water and cornstarch.  Put the lid on the bowl and shake until the cornstarch is thoroughly mixed with the water.  Set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat.  Stir fry the scallions for 1 minute.  Add the celery and carrots and continue to cook, stirring often, for 3-4 minutes.  Add the green or red pepper and continue to cook, stirring often, for another 2 minutes.

Add in the cooked leftover turkey and mix together.  Turn heat to high and add cooking sauce. Once the sauce comes to a boil, turn heat down to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes.

Turn heat back to high and add thickening liquid.  Continue to cook, stirring, until the sauce has thickened.  Turn heat back to medium and add snow peas.  Cook for 1 more minute or until snow peas turn bright green.  Remove from heat and serve over a bed of brown rice.

Makes 4 servings.
