Cubes of chicken and chunks of smoked turkey kielbasa, plus plenty of herbs and veggies, make this a hearty stir-fry. I sometimes top off servings with shredded mozzarella cheese and minced basil and parsley. Adapted from Sharon Clemens's recipe posted in Light and Tasty magazine June/July 2003 along with the photo.
