A quick and delicious stir-fry recipe to use up leftover turkey, paired with vibrant vegetables and a savory sauce.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, ketchup, rice vinegar, sugar, chicken broth, and cornstarch until smooth.
Ensure the cornstarch is fully dissolved to avoid lumps in the sauce.
Combine a few tablespoons of the sauce with the turkey in a bowl and let it marinate for 20 minutes.
Marinating enhances the turkey's flavor; even a short time makes a difference.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red onion and stir-fry for 2 minutes.
Stir constantly to prevent the onion from burning.
Add the sweet potato, broccoli, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3 minutes.
Cut vegetables uniformly for even cooking.
Pour in the water, cover the skillet, and let the vegetables steam for 5 minutes until tender.
Check the vegetables occasionally to ensure they don't overcook.
Add the remaining sauce to the skillet and stir gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Stir gently to avoid breaking the vegetables.
Serve the stir-fry hot, garnished with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
