It was very nice indeed although I would make adjustments, not the least of which would be to remember the garlic and ginger!! I added it later to the leftovers and it made a big difference.
The broccoli was from the garden - yum!
I would also have some orange segments in the mix, added at the last moment. To avoid using a second orange, maybe use lemon or lime juice in the marinade instead (or open a mini carton of oj).
I used ordinary oil, partly because I just did but parly because I discovered that most of my cheffy oils were shockingly out of date (years out, not just a few months - ooops).
Next time I will use thickening granules, not cornflour. I prefer the texture of the resulting sauce.
I didn't add spring onions because I didn't have any, I used red onion instead.
Despite all that, or maybe because of, it was delicious and I will make it again. Here's the original recipe.
Sticky turkey and orange stir fry
Ingredients
2 tbsp soy sauce
finely grated rind and juice of 1 large
orange
2 tbsp runny honey
1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
450g British turkey escalopes, cut into
strips
2 large carrots, thinly sliced
175g broccoli, cut into small florets
2 large red peppers, deseeded and cut into
chunks
1 tbsp each sesame oil and sunflower oil
2 tsp each minced garlic and ginger
4 spring onions, sliced
1 tbsp cornflour
Method
In a small bowl mix together the soy sauce,
orange rind and juice, honey and mustard. Stir in the turkey and set aside.
Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan
and stir-fry the carrots and broccoli for 3 minutes over a high heat. Remove
the turkey with a slotted spoon and add to the wok [reserving the remaining
marinade]. Add 2 tbsp water, the minced garlic and ginger, spring onion and red
pepper to the wok and stir fry for 4 minutes.
Mix the cornflour with the reserved
marinade to a smooth sauce, pour over the turkey mixture and stir-fry for 1-2
minutes until the broccoli is tender and the sauce thickened to a glaze. Serve
with noodles or rice.
Edited to add I have just seen a comment from Marianne who, I think, is a new reader with a fairly new Thermomix. Hi, Marianne, welcome. I hope to see you again in here and that you are loving your Tmx as much as I am! :-)
