Thyme for                         Cooking

    This is a catch-all dish.  The vegetables and meat can be varied to suit what you have on hand.  You can add leftover cooked meat or vegetables.  It's flexible, fast and full of flavor! (You could use leftover game hen).

Chunky Turkey Hash                                                    Time: 30 minutes
    I buy turkey tenderloins for use in dishes like this.  If they are too large for a single meal I cut them in half (or whatever) and freeze the rest.  The tenderloin is very lean, takes on other flavorings easily and can be cut to size.

1 potato
2 carrots
2 stalks celery
1/2 green pepper   other half for Wednesday
1 onion
4 oz mushrooms
2 cloves garlic
10 oz (300 gr) turkey tenderloin or leftover chicken, turkey or game hen
2 tbs olive oil
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup chicken stock
1 tbs Dijon-style mustard
1 tbs soy sauce
1 tsp oregano

Cut potato and carrots into large bite-size pieces and steam for 15 minutes over medium-high heat, until vegetables are just tender.  Chop onion, pepper and celery and mince garlic.  Clean mushrooms and cut in half.  Cut turkey into bite-size pieces.  Heat 1 tbs oil in large nonstick skillet over medium - high heat.  Add onion, pepper, celery and mushrooms.  Sauté until tender, about 7 minutes.  Add garlic and sauté 5 minutes longer.  Remove onion, etc to a plate.  Add turkey to skillet and sauté 3 - 5 minutes until browned.  Put on same plate as onions.  Heat remaining 1 tbs oil in skillet and add carrots and potatoes.  Stir-fry until vegetables are lightly browned.  Return everything to pan and heat through.  Add soy sauce, mustard. oregano, stock and ketchup and heat through, stirring constantly, 2 - 3 minutes over medium heat.  Serve.
