Asparagus Turkey (Or Chicken) Stir-Fry

I used chicken for this recipe, and instead of pimientos, I used thinly sliced carrots. I do the Bountiful Baskets every week. So pretty much whatever I end up with, I look up new recipes for that vegetable instead of preparing it the same boring way.

2 tsp cornstarch
1/4 c chicken broth
1 T lemon juice
1 tsp soy sauce
1 lb turkey breast, cut into strips (or chicken)
1 garlic clove (I used garlic powder)
2 T olive oil
1 lb fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2 in peices
1 jar sliced pimientos, drained (Or 1 carrot, thinly sliced, I also used about 1/4 c sliced green pepper)

In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, broth, lemon juice and soy sauce; set aside. In large skillet, stir-fry turkey & garlic in 1 T until meat is no longer pink; remove & keep warm.
Stir-fry asparagus in remaining oil (and any other veggies you may have added) until crisp-tender. Add pimientos. Stir broth mixture into pan; cook and stir 1 min (or until becomes thick, mine took about 3 sec. HA! I even added some water because it got too thick). Return meat to pan.

We cut up some lettuce & put it on our plates, then topped it with 1 cup brown rice, then topped it with the stir-fry, VERY TASTY! Enjoy! If I were Jenni, I would've thought to take a pic. It was pretty.
