To toast the walnuts, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread walnuts on a baking sheet or in a shallow pan. Bake, stirring once or twice, until lightly browned and fragrant, 7 to 10 minutes. Set aside.

In a small bowl combine the turkey or chicken stock, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar and 1 teaspoon cornstarch. Set aside.

Heat a wok or large saute pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tablespoon cooking oil; swirl to coat sides. Add ginger and garlic; cook and stir 10 seconds. Add onion and bell peppers and cook 2 minutes. Add snow peas and cook 1 minute. Add turkey mixture and cook 1 to 2 minutes until heated; stir in stock mixture. Bring to boil; cover and cook 2 minutes or until vegetables are tender-crisp. Stir in toasted walnuts and serve immediately. Serves 4. — Diamond of California.
