Spicy turkey stir fry

This Spicy turkey stir fry is based on one I saw Ken Hom do on television years ago. It's really delicious - so quick & simple to do if you are familiar with using a wok - and, of course, a wok really is a must if you have any interest in developing your Chinese culinary skills.
