Crisp, fried vegetables and turkey in a sweet teriyaki sauce make a quick, colorful quick dinner.

Teriyaki sauce is made with soy sauce, sugar, ginger and seasonings. This dinner only takes minutes to make using a bottled low-sodium teriyaki sauce.

Bok choy is a mild vegetable with thick, crunchy white stalks and dark green leaves. It can be found year-round and can be used raw in salads or stir-fried.

Cooked turkey is used in this recipe, but turkey cutlets or tenderloins can be substituted. Cut the meat into small pieces and stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes.

Make sure your wok is very hot before adding the ingredients. The oil should be smoking. For easy stir-frying, place all of the prepared ingredients on a cutting board or plate in order of use. You won’t have to look at the recipe once you start to cook.

Quick Cashew Rice completes the meal: Heat a package of microwaveable rice according to package instructions. Measure 11/2 cups rice into a bowl. (Save the rest for another use.) Mix in 2 teaspoons canola oil, 1/4 cup cashews and salt and pepper to taste. Makes 2 servings.
