My favorite stir-fry

Sorry, didn't learn this one in school but it's one I've been making and tweaking for awhile. It's cheap, it's healthy, it's simple, and it's GOOD - Roommate Approved in fact. It started like I suppose every stir-fry starts; leftover ingredients. This particular dish(made for one) shown above contains:

- 3-4oz leftover turkey breast
- 2 or 3 golf-ball sized yellow "gold" potatoes, quartered
- 2 or 3 stalks of asparagus, cut into thirds
- About 2 inches of yellow squash, sliced
- Half a handful of mushrooms(has to be EXACT)
- 1/4 small red onion, sliced
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- S&P
- 1 tbsp. chili powder
- 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper

Cut the potatoes first and throw them in your saucepan(med. heat) with the olive oil first, they take the longest to cook. Add salt and pepper to your vegetables after cutting, before cooking.
After you cut your veggies, toss in the mushrooms and asparagus, and put a lid over the top for a minute or two. Increase heat to med-high.
Add the rest of the veg. and turkey(or whatever you have) into the pan with your spices, toss together, and saute for another minute or so, plate, and eat.

You don't need to go out and get these exact ingredients, the point is to use what you've got in the fridge to make new and interesting combinations. Use oregano or basil if you've got it fresh, throw in a tomato and crush it while it's cooking. If you're on a budget get a pound of each of these ingredients and there's your lunch for the week for under $15.

Add a unique twist to the recipe that really dips your ladle and share it.

Thanks for reading. First week of culinary school action coming over the weekend, stay tuned!
