📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. In a bowl, combine the turkey slices with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and the cornstarch. Toss to coat evenly, and let marinate for 10 minutes.

2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the turkey in batches, cooking until just browned and cooked through (2-3 minutes per batch). Remove and set aside.

3. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet, then sauté the minced garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.

4. Add the carrot, red bell pepper, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

5. In a small bowl, whisk together the mandarin orange juice, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce.

6. Return the cooked turkey to the skillet. Pour the mandarin sauce over the mixture and toss to combine. Simmer for 1-2 minutes to heat through.

7. Gently fold in the mandarin orange segments, being careful not to break them apart. Cook for another minute to warm them.

8. Serve the stir fry immediately over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
