Ingredients

Serve 4

  • 350 g/12 oz turkey breast, cut into 4 cm/1 1/2 inch pieces

  • grated rind and juice of 2 oranges

  • 1 tablespoon corn flour

  • 1 tablespoon sunflower oil

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  • 1/2 red pepper, cored, deseeded and cut into neat strips

  • 1/2 green pepper, cored, deseeded and cut into neat strips

  • 3 celery sticks, diced

  • 125 g/4 oz carrots, cut into matchstick slices

  • salt and pepper

  • boiled rice, to serve

Marinade:

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons orange juice

Method:

  1. First, make the marinade. Mix the soy sauce and orange juice together in a shallow dish. Place the turkey pieces in the marinade and leave for 30 minutes.

  2. Measure the orange juice and add sufficient water to make up to 150 ml/1/4 pint. Blend the corn flour with this and add a little salt and pepper.

  3. Lift the turkey from the marinade and drain well. Reserve the marinade.

  4. Heat the 2 oils in a preheated wok or heavy-based frying pan. Add the turkey pieces and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes. Add the orange rind, peppers, celery and carrots.

  5. Continue stir-frying for a further 3 minutes. Pour in the corn flour and orange juice mixture, together with any marinade that may be left.

  6. Stir as the liquid comes to the boil and thickens slightly. Serve immediately with plain boiled rice.
