Ingredients

  • 1 lb turkey fillets
  • Juice of two oranges (fresh is much better)
  • 1/2 Cup water plus 1 tablespoon extra water
  • 3 Tablespoons corn flour
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 inch piece ginger grated
  • 2 cloves Garlic crushed
  • Small bunch of fresh chopped chives
  • Salt to season

Instructions

  • Spoon two tablespoons of the corn flour onto a plate. Dredge the turkey fillets in the corn flour and set aside. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the turkey and brown each side for just about 2 minutes per side. Remove from pan and keep warm.
  • In the reserved skillet set over medium heat, add the garlic, ginger and orange juice. Whisk for about 1 minute. Mix the extra tablespoon of water and corn flour together and add to pan. Continue to whisk until you have a smooth and thickened sauce. Gradually add the water whisking as you go. You should have a smooth, slightly thickened and glossy sauce. Reduce heat to low, return turkey to pan, season with salt and cover. Leave to finish cooking for about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh chives and serve with rice.
