Truly Yummy Sweet & Sour Turkey
Quick gluten free and dairy free sweet and sour turkey stir fry made with fresh vegetables and a simple homemade sauce.
Looking for a fakeaway that’s gluten free and dairy free? Look no further, my Truly Yummy Sweet and Sour Turkey has you covered and is kinder on your purse too.
When creating a fakeaway at home, I’ve found most supermarket sauces contain thickening agents and you can’t always be sure they’re suitable for those will allergies. The same goes for takeaway sauces, especially if you need to avoid cross contamination. Making your own from scratch gives you complete control, so you can enjoy your favourite dishes without missing out.
Stir fries are also incredibly quick to cook, just make sure everything is prepped before you start. You’ll then have a truly yummy meal on the table in no time. If you enjoy this recipe, try my Truly Yummy Fiery Beef Stir Fry. It’s just as quick and just as yummy.

Instructions
Sweet & Sour Sauce
- Drain the pineapple chunks from the juice. Pour the juice into a saucepan and set the chunks to one side.
- Add the remaining sweet & sour ingredients to the pan. Stir and gently heat the sauce until it thickens.
- Turn off the heat and set to one side.
Turkey Stir Fry
- Once all the meat and vegetables have been prepared, heat the avocado oil in the wok on a high heat.
- Add and fry the turkey strips until browned and cooked through. Then remove from the wok and set aside.
- Next fry all of the vegetables except the pineapple chunks until they start to cook and soften a little. Cook to your liking, I like mine to still have a little crunch.
- Add the turkey, pineapple chunks and the sauce to the vegetables and give everything a good stir. Once the sauce has coated everything it is ready to serve.
- Serve with plain white rice and top the stir fry with a few cashew nuts and slices of spring onion.
