Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Brush a baking sheet and the wonton skins lightly on both sides with 2 teaspoons of oil. Season with salt and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until browned and crisp. Transfer to a cooling rack and reserve.
- In a large heavy skillet or wok, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of canola oil over medium-high heat. Add the scallion, garlic, cabbage, celery, bamboo shoots, and mushrooms and stir-fry until cabbage is soft and wilted, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the sugar, 3/4 cup of the chicken broth, soy sauce, and sesame oil and cook for 3 minutes. Add the sherry-cornstarch mixture and, if the mixture is a little dry, the additional 1/4 cup chicken stock. Add the turkey or chicken and heat through. Serve the chop suey over the cooked brown rice and top with sesame seeds and reserved crushed wonton skins.

AMERICAN CHOP SUEY
This is a quick recipe using 'canned' spaghetti. We always ate in on Friday nights before we would go to the football games. It is also excellent when served the next day, as the flavors have a chance to mix.

Tips:

- Cook the rice according to the package directions: Be sure to rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove any excess starch.

- Use a good quality soy sauce: The soy sauce is one of the key ingredients in chop suey, so be sure to use a good quality soy sauce that has a rich flavor.
- Serve immediately: Chop suey is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to ensure that the vegetables are still crispy and the rice is fluffy.
