  • 435 g tin of pineapple chunks in juice
  • 2 tbsp tomato ketchup recommend M&S Tomato Ketchup Only 8 Ingredients
  • 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
  • 1 thumb sized piece of fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp tamari soy sauce recommend Yutaka Organic Tamari Soy Sauce
  • 1 tbsp cornflour mixed with a little water recommend Brown & Polson Cornflour

Turkey Stir Fry

  • 2 tbsp avocado oil recommend avocado oil or vegetable or sunflower oil
  • 500 g turkey breast, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 onion, diced into 2cm cube shaped pieces
  • 1 red pepper, cut into 2cm cube shaped pieces
  • 200 g baby corn, chopped into 3 pieces
  • 200 g mangetout, slice into two

Optional Toppings

  • 4 spring onions, finely sliced

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.

Notes

If the sauce is a little too thick, add more water or pineapple juice to loosen it. 
If you like a little more sauce, feel free to double the sauce ingredients.
This recipe also works well with lean pork or chicken strips. For a vegetarian option, simply omit the meat and add extra vegetables such as beansprouts and pak choi.
