A Recent Find

One of the staple meals in our household is a good ol' fashion stir-fry. Growing up, my mom always made our stir-fry using a pork tenderloin. I've always done the same, sometimes I substituted with chicken, but it always tasted best with pork. Recently, however, I've discovered a healthier (and more cost efficient) substitute. Turkey breast tenderloin:

Turkey breast is one of our leanest proteins and is an excellent source of iron, zinc, and others. The best part about it, at least according to my husband, is it tastes great! You will not lose any flavor with this substitution.

Speaking of stir-fry this is what I do. Add a little oil to your pan/wok and heat for just a second. Add your chopped meat and cook until meat is completely cooked through. Add veggies (to make it easy on yourself grab a stir-fry bag in the vegetable aisle) and saute until softened, but still have a little bite.


Pour on your favorite, healthy teriyaki sauce (watch for high sugar). Stir. If your sauce is too thin you can always add a little corn starch to thicken and better coat your meat and veggies.

Serve over brown rice. Enjoy!
