Background

This Thai turkey stir-fry is ideal for a midweek meal or you can serve it as part of an Asian menu when you have friends around for a laid-back party. Serve it with Jasmine rice and some vegetable side dishes of your choice.

Ingredients

For the marinade:
2 tsp light soy sauce
2 tsp rice wine or dry sherry
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tsp cornflour
Salt and pepper
For the stir-fry:
450g turkey breast fillet
1 lemongrass
1 Tbsp of peanut/groundnut oil
1 onion
2 Tbsp chopped garlic
2 tstp grated lime zest
1 chilli
½ tsp palm or brown cane sugar
I handful of Thai basil leaves (or coriander leaves)

Instructions

Cut the meat into bite-sized cubes or thin slices. Mix the marinade, pour over the meat, and marinate for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables – chop the garlic; slice the onion; deseed the chilli & chop it finely. Remove the outer layer of lemongrass, cut it in half then smash flat with a knife or tenderiser.
Heat a wok over medium flame. When it is hot, add the oil, then the turkey pieces and stir-fry for 3 minutes. Add the other ingredients (expect the fresh herbs), and stir-fry for about 5 minutes, until the turkey is golden and cooked through.
Add the fresh herb leaves, stir through, then serve immediately.
