Turkey and Broccoli Stir-Fry

- 1/4 cup water and 1/4 cup water (plus more as needed), divided use
- 1 tablespoon sugar

- 1 medium fresh jalapeno, seeds and ribs discarded, minced, or crushed red pepper flakes to taste (optional)
- 1 tablespoon bottled minced garlic or 6 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon minced peeled gingerroot
- 1 1/2 teaspoons canola or corn oil and 1 1/2 teaspoons canola or corn oil, divided use
- 1 pound broccoli florets
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce and the sherry for the marinade.
- Cut the turkey across the short side into slivers about 1/4 inch wide and 2 inches long.
- Stir into the soy sauce marinade.
- Season with the pepper.
- Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, 1/4 cup water, sugar, and remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce.
- Whisk in the cornstarch.
- Set aside.
- In a separate small bowl, stir together the green onions, jalapeno, garlic, and gingerroot.
- Heat a 12-inch skillet (cast-iron preferred), a wok, or a Dutch oven over high heat for a full minute.
- Add 1 1/2 teaspoons oil, swirling to coat the bottom.
- Stir in half the turkey.
- Cook for 2 minutes, or until it starts becoming opaque, stirring constantly.
- Transfer to a serving bowl.
- Repeat with the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil and turkey, plus any remaining marinade.
- Stir the green onion mixture, broccoli, and remaining 1/4 cup water into the skillet.
- Cook, covered, for 3 minutes.
- Stir the lemon juice mixture to disperse the cornstarch.
- Stir this mixture and the turkey into the skillet.
- Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Stir in more water to thin the sauce if necessary.
- Omit 2 tablespoons soy sauce, the sherry, turkey, and pepper.
- Beat 1/2 cup egg substitute with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Chop 4 medium green onions.
- In a 12-inch skillet (cast-iron preferred), a wok, or a Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon canola or corn oil over high heat, swirling to coat the bottom.
- Cook the green onions for a few seconds, stirring constantly.
- Add the egg substitute mixture.
- Cook until softly set (no stirring needed).
- Transfer to a plate.
- Continue as directed above, replacing the turkey with the egg substitute mixture.
- Old-fashioned cast-iron skillets are excellent for stir-frying.
- Black metal absorbs heat well, and the iron will hold onto the heat after you add the meat and vegetables.
