Prep: 10 min. Cook: 25 min.

Yield: 5 Servings

Ingredients

1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup chicken or turkey broth
3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons white vinegar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1-1/4 pounds lean ground turkey
1 large green pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup sliced celery
2 medium tomatoes, cut into wedges
Hot cooked rice

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cornstarch and ginger. Whisk in the broth, soy sauce and vinegar until smooth; set aside. In another bowl, combine the egg, bread crumbs, salt and garlic powder. Crumble turkey over mixture and mix well. Shape into five patties.
In a nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook patties over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 165° and juices run clear.
Add green pepper and celery. Stir reserved broth mixture; add to pan and bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Add tomatoes; simmer 6 minutes longer or until heated through. Serve with rice. Yield: 5 servings.
