Spicy Turkey Chow Mein (30 Minutes ONLY!)

Spicy Turkey Chow Mein

Do you have any leftover Turkey? It is time to turn your leftovers into the best Spicy Turkey Chow Mein!

Use any leftover vegetables you have to make delicious Spicy Turkey Chow Mein in less than 30 minutes.

I promise this Spicy Turkey Chow Mein is the best way to level up your leftovers.

THANKSGIVING leftovers

I get so excited for leftover Turkey because the leftover turkey oil makes this Spicy Turkey Chow Mein extra special!

Save the oil from the turkey in a bowl, and use the oil to saute the vegetables.

For this recipe, you can use any leftover vegetables of your choice.

Some typical thanksgiving leftover vegetables include celery, carrots, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage. Slice them into thin strips so they cook evenly.

If you have any leftover roast beef, you can also use it in this recipe. 

drizzling sauce

This Spicy Turkey Chow Mein recipe has a secret sauce made with simple-to-find ingredients that will blow your mind.

All you need is soy sauce, black vinegar, sugar, oyster sauce, black pepper, chili oil, and sesame oil.

The flavor that is often missing in homemade chow mein is the tanginess.

Black Vinegar is less harsh than regular vinegar, which gives the chow mein a subtle hint of tanginess that brings the dish together.

If you are vegetarian or have a seafood allergy, I recommend using vegetarian oyster sauce instead.

Spicy Turkey Chow Mein

Let’s talk about noodles, as this is the most crucial ingredient in Spicy Turkey Chow Mein.

I recommend using EGG Chow Mein noodles that you can find at most Asian Supermarkets.

Make sure to blanch the noodles for 30-60 seconds and rinse with cold water before pan-frying.

Blanching will not only get rid of the “eggy” smell from the noodles, but it will also cut down the pan-frying time, which prevents the noodles from breaking and becoming soggy.

If you can’t find Egg Chow Mein noodles in your area, I recommend using Shanghai Noodles or Frozen Udon.

Spicy Turkey Chow Mein

Spicy Turkey Chow Mein takes less than 30 minutes to make at home, it is versatile, and you can adjust the vegetable and protein-based on what you have at home.

Some other vegetables I recommend adding include snap peas, baby corn, broccoli, and bean sprouts. Chow mein can be paired with any protein, such as chicken, pork, beef, and seafood.

About Me
Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world.
I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family is also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.
