“Great meal for after Thanksgiving to use up leftover turkey. Very simple meal. This was one of my favorites as a child. Serve over rice or chow mein noodles.” - by BunnyBaker

Directions

Whisk soy sauce, sugar, and cornstarch together in a bowl until smooth; stir turkey into cornstarch mixture and set aside for 15 minutes to marinate.
Heat a large skillet over high heat and pour vegetable oil into the hot skillet, coating the bottom. Stir broccoli and carrots into the hot oil to combine; pour chicken broth into the vegetables and cover skillet. Cook until carrots start to become tender, about 2 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium. Stir turkey and sauce into vegetables; cook and stir until heated through and the sauce has thickened, 1 minute. Stir mushrooms into turkey and vegetables until combined.

It might also be nice with real black bean sauce too (fermented black beans mashed with minced garlic and ginger) Note: Instructions don't mention what to do with the onions - I sauteed mine before adding the veggies and the stock to the pan."

"Relatively easy to make and quick-to-fix during a busy week. We served it up using our leftover stuffing as the "rice" underneath. What a delightful mix. Serve with a side of cranberries to get that s..." See morelight bit of sweetness, which compliments the saltiness of the soy sauce. Makes great for a heavy serving for two, and then something leftover for the next day at lunch."
