Strip-Mining the Turkey

To keep these low-fat turkey fajitas as quick and easy as possible, buy the turkey breast already cut into strips and ready to stir-fry.

Spray the wok with nonstick cooking spray and heat until it’s sizzling before adding the strips. Stir-fry them in a single layer so they will brown quickly without getting watery and steam-cooked; do them in two batches if necessary.

All in all, it takes about 10 minutes to stir-fry the entire dish from beginning to end. Serve the fajitas in small, extra-thin warm tortillas.
