Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Quick Ground Turkey Lo Mein.
Step 1
Start by bringing a large pot of water to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Once it's bubbling, gently add the lo mein noodles and let them cook for about six minutes, stirring occasionally until they reach a tender texture.
Step 3
After cooking, drain the noodles and toss them with a teaspoon of toasted sesame oil to keep them from sticking together—this little step makes a big difference! Next, grab a large saucepan and heat the remaining three teaspoons of sesame oil over medium heat.
Step 4
Add in the ground turkey, diced onion, and minced garlic.
Step 5
Sauté this mixture for about five minutes, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is no longer pink and the kitchen is filled with a delicious aroma.
Step 6
If there's any excess grease, drain it off and return the turkey mixture to the pan.
Step 7
Now it’s time to add some flavor! Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth, sliced water chestnuts, low-sodium soy sauce, and onion soup mix.
Step 8
Stir everything together until it’s well combined, creating a savory base for your dish.
Step 9
Next, toss in the chopped celery, sugar snap peas, and diced red bell pepper.
Step 10
Cook and stir for about three to five minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften just a bit while still retaining their vibrant crunch.
Step 11
Finally, add the cooked lo mein noodles and mung bean sprouts to the pan.
Step 12
Give everything a good stir to ensure all the ingredients are well mixed and coated in that tasty sauce.
Step 13
Serve your delicious creation immediately, and if you like a little heat, sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes on top.
Step 14
Enjoy your flavorful lo mein dish, and savor the delightful blend of textures and tastes!.
