Leftover Stir Fry (Green Papaya)

Submitted by Ambervim

"Tonight, a friend was coming over and I asked if they were good with pot luck. So I looked at what I needed to use and found the green papaya. I decided to shred some and create a stir fry with a few other things I needed to use up....the bread was the end of a hearty loaf, the turkey was a bit dry and needed to be used. The rest is just what I made up. It would be great with other veggies added. This particular combination was quite interesting, it was quite close to mu shu, which I love. I didn't have any leftover pancake batter or I would have served it that way. It was really particularly good."
