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.

CHOP SUEY
This is the fast and easy chop suey recipe that my mother always made, and we love it 'as is', but you could substitute a can of Chinese mixed vegetables for the bean sprouts if you like more color and texture. Serve over hot rice, topped with chow mein noodles and soy sauce, if desired.

MOM'S AMERICAN CHOP SUEY (1950'S BASIC)
A school lunchtime classic. Quick and easy to make. Very bland but has remarkable taste. My sister has tried it and say it's just as she remembers Mom's. All you need to finish this recipe is some Kraft shaker cheese to complete the memory. Mom probably got the recipe from a 1950 vintage Betty Crocker cookbook. Quantities are approximate. Mom seldom measured anything. We usually make a double batch. Enjoy. If you add a bit of garlic powder, chili powder and a can of kidney beans you would create Mom's Chili Mac Recipe.

MOM'S AMERICAN CHOP SUEY
First off, let me say....it's bland. That's the way they cooked way back when!!!! Or maybe my mom did cause my dad was a meat & potato man, nothing spicy for him. I spice our's up by adding stuff!! I'm just giving you her recipe for some real comfort food. Four of us kids(oldest being 71 and youngest being 55) still make this. You have to add what you like to it. I can't change her recipe. Too many memories go along with this recipe.

Tips:
- Choose fresh and tender vegetables: Chop suey is a colorful dish, so use a variety of fresh, crisp vegetables. Bok choy, snow peas, carrots, celery, and bell peppers are all great options.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, ginger, and garlic will help it stay tender and juicy while cooking.
- Use a hot wok: A hot wok is essential for stir-frying. If your wok is not hot enough, the vegetables will not cook evenly and will become soggy.
- Stir-fry in batches: If you are using a lot of vegetables, stir-fry them in batches so that they do not overcrowd the wok. This will help them cook evenly.
- Add the sauce at the end: The sauce is the finishing touch for chop suey. Add it to the wok just before serving and stir-fry for a few minutes until the sauce is heated through.
