Turkey Noodle One-Pot

4 Dynasty Shiitake Dried Black Mushrooms (or I just cut up 8 oz. of baby bellos)
1 package (5.29 oz) Saifun
1 chicken bouillon cube (or I used a tablespoon of my homemade vegetable broth mix)
1 Tbsp. Soy sauce
1 lb. lean ground turkey (or chicken)
1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
2 green onions and tops, thinly sliced on diagonal
1 medium carrot, coarsely shredded
1 tsp. sesame oil (I did not have)

   Soak shiitake as directed by package (if you got dried stuff); drain, squeezing out excess liquid.  Remove and discard shiitake stems; thinly slice mushrooms.  Soak Saifun as directed by the package.  Dissolve bouillon (if you are using it) in 1 cup boiling water.  Mix in soy sauce.  Heat large frying pan over high heat.  Liquid coat inside of pan with cooking spray (I did not).  Add turkey and garlic; stir-fry 6 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked through.  Mix in saifun, mushrooms, green onions and tops, carrot, and bouillon mixture.  Bring to a boil.  Cook and stir 4 minutes, or until most liquid is absorbed.  Remove from heat.  Mix in sesame oil.  Makes 4 servings, about 1 2/3 cups each.
