Method

  1. Extract the juice from one of the oranges. Cut the turkey into thin strips. Place in a shallow bowl and season with garlic, soy sauce and the orange juice. Mix well and set aside.
  2. Using a sharp knife, slice the top and bottom off of the other orange. Slicing downwards, take off the skin and as much of the white pith as possible. Holding the orange over a small bowl to catch the juice, slice in between in the segments to remove the flesh and put in the bowl. Set aside.
  3. Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan until hot then stir fry the pepper slices for 3-4 mins until just beginning to soften. Remove from the wok using a draining spoon and set aside.
  4. Drain the turkey well. Reheat the wok or pan and stir fry the turkey for 5 mins. Add the leek and continue to stir fry the mixture for a further 1 min, then return the pepper to the wok or pan along with the orange segments and their juice, and beansprouts, then stir fry for a further 2 mins until tender and the turkey is cooked through. Sprinkle over the chopped coriander.
  5. Serve immediately with rice as an accompaniment.
