Zesty Asian Turkey and Mango Stir-fry
This stir-fry features the best of both worlds. Savory turkey fillets and nutrient-rich broccoli get a kick of sweetness from a pinch of brown sugar and fresh mango slices. Tangy Thai flavor takes the shape of Asian fish sauce and works with the herbs and spices to make this dish unforgettable. Mango is rich in Vitamins A, C and B6 and is a good source of dietary fiber. Plus eating a variety of fruits, like mangoes, help lower risk for several different cancers.
