Sesame Turkey Stir-Fry
TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 25 min.
YIELD: 4 servings.
I really like the rich taste of sesame oil in this Thai-inspired dish. If you don't have it, canola oil does the trick, too. To get a similar nuttiness, toss in a handful sliced almonds before serving. —Kelli Whiting, Fortville, Indiana
