Quick and healthy

This stir fry only takes about 20 minutes to cook and get on the table. It comes together so quickly and easily, it's no-sweat to serve up this meal. Take a well deserved break after long and hard to prepare holiday meals that take hours in the kitchen.

Add the onions first and cook for a few minutes because this helps release the aromatic compounds and makes your stir fry more flavorful. After that I like to add the vegetables in the order in which needs the most cooking. Carrots and zucchini need more cooking so they go in next.

The pepper will cook very quickly. The pineapple and turkey are already cooked and just need to get hot and mingle with the other flavors briefly. So these I ingredients are added last, at the same time as the soy sauce.

Put the “stir” in Stir Fry

You don’t have to stir vigorously but do make sure to sir quite often, after all, it’s not called a stir fry for nothing. The idea is that you stir it around enough in a hot pan to allow the liquids to evaporate and steam the veggies as they cook. If you find a lot of liquid in the bottom of your pan try increasing the heat a little bit and stirring more frequently.

Chop and remove any skin or bones from about 1 ½ cups of cooked turkey. I prefer the dark meat here but use whatever you want.

Drain the juice from the pineapple and save to drink or use in a different recipe. Cut up your red pepper.

    Yum! This was really good. It was a great way to use some of my leftover turkey I had in the freezer. It also was nice because it was a light healthy meal after lots of heavy food for the holiday.
