Orange and Ginger Turkey Stir Fry - a simple and flavoursome dish that is perfect for the whole family and ready in minutes.
Stir fries are one of those easy kind of dishes where you can throw just a handful of ingredients in a pan and have dinner on the table in minutes and are a perfect way to use up some vegetables or leftover cooked turkey or chicken.
Every week without fail, I always grab a bag of power blend stir fry mix - which is a combination of shredded broccoli stalks, cabbage, carrots, kohlrabi, kale, Brussels sprouts and mini broccoli florets. It's perfect for a super quick stir fry and a great way to get some quick speed feeds into a dish.
Seasoning wise, I will usually just go for some soy sauce, garlic and ginger, but on this occasion, I fancied a little something different and opening the fridge for inspiration, I spotted a jar of orange marmalade.
Orange is definitely a great flavour to add to any stir fry dish and with some leftover shredded turkey to use up too, it was perfect.
I literally just mixed a little of the marmalade with some soy sauce, ginger, garlic and water for enough sauce to just coat all the meat and shredded flavour. The orange marmalade gave enough punch of that yummy orange flavour, without having to use too many points.
This Orange and Ginger Turkey Stir Fry could easily be eaten just as it is as a great diet friendly dish or just when you want to increase those vegetables. But as I was already cooking rice to use for egg fried rice the next day, I cooked a little extra to serve with this.
