TURKEY STIR-FRY

Turkey is not just for Christmas! This recipe is quick to prepare and makes a tasty midweek dinner. It might seem strange to put minced meat into a stir-fry but it actually works really well with turkey because the smaller pieces of meat soak up all of the heat and flavours of chilli, ginger, garlic and soy sauce. This is another recipe where you don’t have to stick rigidly to the ingredients list. Just use it as a guide and don’t be afraid to experiment with the contents of your fridge.
