Prep/Total Time: 20 min.

Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients

1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 pound turkey breast tenderloin, cubed
4 teaspoons canola oil, divided
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup shredded carrot
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup sliced green onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
Hot cooked rice, optional

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the first seven ingredients until smooth; set aside. In a nonstick skillet, stir-fry turkey in 2 teaspoons hot oil until no longer pink. Remove and keep warm.
In the same skillet, stir-fry the celery, carrot, onion, mushrooms and green onions in remaining oil until crisp-tender, about 5-6 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Add water chestnuts and turkey; heat through.
Stir broth mixture and add to the pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Sprinkle with almonds. Serve with hot cooked rice if desired. Yield: 4 servings.

I like the sauce to be a little thicker, so I use more corn starch. I also started adding baby corn, snow peas, cabbage and a handful of cashews.

At first I wasn't sure this was going to turn out well, but when my husband and I sat down to eat, he was the first to admit that he really liked it. I think the almonds are what took it from the so-so to the pretty good for us. I made this with chicken instead of turkey. Will definitely be making it again!
