Get ready to have someFriday fun! Turkey CHOW FUN!
Hey friends! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Are you stuffed? Nah, you’re ready for all the leftovers! Best part if you ask me. You all know we (the Cotters) aren’t too crazy about plain roasted turkey. But using turkey leftovers in recipes, for sure! Which is why I’m obsessed with Turkey Paleo chili,turkey cobb salad , and now this turkey chow fun tamari zoodles recipe!
It’s my new favoriteAsian inspired leftover turkey recipe! Super easy to make, light, lower in carbs, gluten free, and oh so tasty. Plus I get to use one of my absolute favorite stir-frymaking ingredients; Tamari! Yes, Tamari and Turkey and zucchini noodles (aka zoodles), oh what fun! Haha, pun intended.
So before I dive into this turkey chow fun Tamari zoodle recipe, let’s talk a little bit about Tamari sauces, mmm k? You’ll love knowing what makes this gluten free Asian sauce super duper special, and healthy.
For starters, San-J Tamari is a great gluten free soy sauce. San-J Tamari is definitely a staple in our house; for stir fry recipes and more. But more importantly, San-J Tamari is a better quality Asian gluten free soy sauce.Let me explain this awesome sauce!
You see, San-J’s Tamari is made with Japanese brewing methods handed down through eight generations. Meaning, the soybeans arefermented for up to 6 months! Yep, pretty amazing!
San-J uses only quality non-gmo ingredients including soybeans to make their Tamari Soy Sauce.
It is also certified vegan, gluten free, and free of artificial preservatives, flavors, or colors. Oh I so love that! Regular soy sauce contains both soy/wheat and can be flashed until higher temperature, which degrades the quality and taste. Make sense?
San-J Tamari is made with 100% soy and no wheat so the higher concentration of soy protein makes the taste richer, smoother and more flavorful. Which is why it pairs so nicely in veggie stir fry dishes.
I’ve also used tamari in salads, dressings, and marinades. Can you tell we love tamari? Oh yea! You’re a food scienceenthusiast like me, you’ll love learning more about the history of San-J Tamari and theirbrewing process here.
Back to my objective here; holiday leftovers.
What better way to nourish your body while tackling those thanksgiving leftovers than with this naturally gluten free Turkey Chow Fun zucchini stir fry recipe, made with tamari sauce?!
Excuse the run on sentence, but I get excited!
Ya’ll, this dish is light and tasty! The best of both worlds. It’s also incredibly EASY to make.
I’m thinking you need an easy recipe after a week of holiday meal prep and festivities.
What vegetables can you zoodle?
Don’t worry, if you don’t have zucchini to make zoodles, there are a LOT of veggies you can turn into noodles. You can zoodle:
- squash
- potatoes,
- sweet potatoes
- parsnips (hmm, are those called poodles? Haha)
- carrots
- broccoli stems
- cucumber
The list goes on… just use your imagination and grab those raw veggies from the fridge!
That being said, let’s get the recipe.

Turkey Chow Fun Serving Suggestions
This turkey chow fun zoodles stir fry recipe is a keeper, even after the holidays.
It can feed the family or you can make it just for one. Great for lunches, meal plan recipe, or whenever you feel like homemade takeout! Sure does come in handy when you want to cleanup your meals but keep the taste. Ya know? Oh I know you know!
If you are looking for a great spiralizer to make zucchini stir fry noodles (or ANY spiralized veggies) I bought mine on Amazon (Affiliate link, just FYI).
It has 5 blades which makes all kinds of different noodles shapes, including a wider/flat noodle shape similar to that of chow fun rice noodles, pictured above.
Grab some chop sticks and dig in to the stir fry zucchini noodles! Heck, just grab the bowl and slurp. Totally allowed!
