Ingredients

• 1 pound Turkey breast, thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, minced
• 1 large Carrot, julienned
• 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup Snap peas
• 1 cup Mandarin oranges, canned (drained)
• 1 cup Mandarin orange juice (from the can or fresh)
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)
• 4 cups Cooked rice or noodles (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, combine the turkey slices with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and the cornstarch. Toss to coat evenly, and let marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the turkey in batches, cooking until just browned and cooked through (2-3 minutes per batch). Remove and set aside.

Step 3

Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet, then sauté the minced garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the carrot, red bell pepper, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the mandarin orange juice, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce.

Step 6

Return the cooked turkey to the skillet. Pour the mandarin sauce over the mixture and toss to combine. Simmer for 1-2 minutes to heat through.

Step 7

Gently fold in the mandarin orange segments, being careful not to break them apart. Cook for another minute to warm them.

Step 8

Serve the stir fry immediately over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
