Tired of turkey sandwiches? Try Beverly Graml's fresh-tasting adaptation—a warm spicy stir-fry tucked into pita bread. A neighbor game me this quick-and-easy recipe years ago, she pens from Yorktown, Virginia. It's been my most popular day-after-turkey dish ever since.
Ingredients:
1 medium sweet red pepper, julienned
3 green onions, sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 to 1-1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/3 cup water
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon sesame oil
3 cups shredded cooked turkey
4 whole wheat pita pocket halves
Directions:
1. In a nonstick skillet, saute the red pepper, onions and garlic in canola oil until vegetables are tender. Sprinkle with cornstarch, curry powder and cayenne; stir until blended. Add the water, soy sauce, honey and sesame oil; stir until blended. Add turkey. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Spoon into pita halves. Yield: 4 servings.
