Directions
1. MAKE THE SAUCE: In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the chicken broth. Stir in the soy sauce, rice wine, sugar and sesame oil.
2. MAKE THE STIR-FRY: Heat a large heavy wok or Dutch oven over high heat. Add the peanut oil, ginger and garlic; stir-fry for 10 seconds. Add the cabbage and onion and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes to soften. At any time during stir-frying if the wok seems dry, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of water to encourage the cooking. Add the snow peas and water chestnuts and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and stir-fry for 1 minute longer. Add the turkey and the scallions and stir-fry until just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir the sauce and add; cook until thickened. Turn out onto a serving platter or individual plates and serve hot, right away.
