This was good. I used the turkey strips that are already sliced up from the meat department at the store and I added zucchini and sliced onions with some worcestershire sauce and a few dashes of poultry seasoning and seasame seed oil. Served with some wild rice Turned out nice :) Thanks for sharing the recipe!
