# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The turkey stays incredibly tender because it cooks fast and gets coated in that glossy sauce before it has a chance to dry out
- You can prep all the vegetables while the noodles cook, making this genuinely achievable on busy weeknights
02 -
- Don't crowd your wok or the vegetables will steam instead of stir-fry. If everything looks cramped, cook in two batches.
- The sauce thickens fast once it hits the hot pan, so have everything ready before you pour it in.
03 -
- If your turkey slices are thick, pound them gently between plastic wrap before slicing for more even cooking
- Let your wok get properly hot before adding any ingredients, that's what gives stir-fry its characteristic flavor
