Turkey (chicken) in the Straw


 Today I'm sharing a rather healthy dish to use some of that leftover turkey.  I made this awhile ago, but used leftover chicken.  It has a nice crunch to it and it's rather light, and would be wonderful to serve the next day after the big Thanksgiving dinner.

 I love this Blessings mug that I received from Vee.  She sent this mug to me before the actual mug that she ordered,  arrived.  It was from Stephanie's  teacup and mug exchange from two years ago.  I love both of the mugs that Vee sent!

Here's this healthy dish, which comes from Autumn,  Susan Branch,  From the Heart Of The Home.  

 

Turkey (chicken) in the Straw

2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce 
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 clove garlic, minced
1 12-oz. pkg. broccoli slaw
2 cups cooked turkey (or chicken)
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons chopped dry-roasted peanuts
shredded Parmesan, to taste

Combine first 3 ingredients in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add mushrooms and cook until soft.  Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute more.  Add broccoli slaw, cook and stir until slightly wilted.  Stir in cooked turkey and salt and pepper to taste.  Heat through just enough and not overcooking broccoli.  Divide onto plates and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Makes 2 generous servings

Happy Thanksgiving to all!  I'm spending the week cooking for my dear Mom in Ohio, and may not have time to visit with all of you.   

I am sharing this with these lovely parties:

  18. I'm going to bookmark this Kitty; it looks very tasty. I have a deathly allergy to sesame though, so will have to sub for that. Your table looks so warm and cozy; gifts from friends always make it more so.
    So you're in my neck of the woods -- kind of!! Enjoy your Thanksgiving with your mom Kitty. I'm sure she's so happy to have you there. I will be "off the grid" for a few days, too. Catch up with you next week, dear friend. xo Deborah

  25. Hi Kitty,
    This is such a great alternative to turkey soup and sandwiches. I'm so tired of those leftover meals. Usually I'm craving something fresh and with vegetables and this recipe is perfect.
