Turkey and Asparagus Stir Fry (Arkansas Democrat-Gazette/Kelly Brant)

I bought more of that spindly asparagus I mentioned a few weeks ago. This time it was not on sale. But it's all my market has had in stock lately and I was really craving asparagus.

This time I used the thinner-than-a-pencil spears in a stir-fry, taking advantage of their super quick cooking nature. I used a recipe I found on the Canadian cooking blog Yay! For Food (yayforfood.com) as a guide. For the most part I stuck to Marie's recipe, but I reduced the soy sauce and added a bit of honey for balance. I also added a generous bit of ground black pepper. I didn't have any green onions, so I skipped them. Next time, I'll definitely use them and maybe add a sprinkle of sesame seeds or toasted cashews for crunch.
