For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground turkey with 1 pound of firm tofu, pressed and crumbled. Add a splash of rice vinegar or a squeeze of lime juice at the end for a brighter flavor. Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preferences and what you have on hand. Sliced carrots, broccoli florets, or mushrooms would all be delicious additions. If you like a saucier lo mein, double the chicken broth and soy sauce. If you don’t have onion soup mix, you can substitute 1 tablespoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of dried parsley.

01
Step

Cook Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add lo mein noodles and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender (about 6 minutes). Drain well and toss with 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame oil to prevent sticking. (Prep time: 8 minutes)

Step
7 mins
Sauté Turkey and Aromatics: Heat the remaining 3 teaspoons of sesame oil in a large saucepan or wok over medium heat. Add the ground turkey, diced onion, and minced garlic. Cook, breaking up the turkey with a spoon, until the turkey is browned and the onion is translucent (about 5 minutes). Drain off any excess grease. (Prep time: 7 minutes)

Simmer and Soften: Return the turkey mixture to the pan. Pour in the chicken broth, water chestnuts, soy sauce, and onion soup mix. Stir to combine thoroughly. Add the chopped celery, sugar snap peas, and diced red bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly softened (about 3-5 minutes). (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Jun 3, 2025I was skeptical about the onion soup mix, but it really adds a great depth of flavor. I've made this several times now, and it's always a hit!
