Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Turkey breast, thinly sliced
- 120 ml Orange juice, freshly squeezed
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 200 grams Broccoli florets
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium Carrot, julienned
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 4 servings Cooked rice or noodles (for serving)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, soy sauce, honey, and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the turkey slices and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove the turkey from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets, red bell pepper slices, and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked turkey to the skillet and pour the orange sauce over the mixture. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if using.
Serve the orange turkey stir fry immediately over cooked rice or noodles.
