# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The sauce hits that perfect sweet and tangy balance that makes you want to lick the plate
- Everything cooks in one pan and comes together in under 20 minutes once prep is done
- Turkey stays incredibly tender while absorbing all those gorgeous Asian inspired flavors
02 -
- Have all ingredients prepped before you start cooking once stir frying begins, everything happens too fast to chop and cook simultaneously
- Do not overcrowd your wok or the vegetables will steam instead of stir fry, losing that coveted smoky flavor
- The sauce thickens quickly once it hits the hot pan, so have everything ready to toss immediately
03 -
- Cut all your vegetables into similar sizes so they cook evenly and you get every texture in each bite
- Leftovers reheat beautifully in a skillet with a splash of water to refresh the sauce
