One of my favourite cooking challenges is deciding what to do with the leftover turkey after Christmas day.
I always buy a big turkey that will provide enough meat for turkey butties as well as AT LEAST one other full meal.We have a few on the blog now, including Turkey tikka masala (always goes down an absolute storm!), Crispy turkey nachos, Turkey, mushroom and pancetta risotto and Turkey pasta bake (which also uses up leftover ham and cheeseboard cheese).So along with this Sweet and Sour Turkey, we’re covering lots of different cuisines!
Toss the turkey with cornflour, salt and pepper, then fry in a large frying pan or wok until crispy. Remove from the pan.
Fry up chopped peppers, onions, ginger and garlic. They just need a few minutes, so they’re not raw, but they still have some crunch.
Next in goes the sauce - which is a mixture of ketchup, vinegar, dark brown sugar and tinned pineapple chunks in juice.
This is all bubbled up until slightly thickened, then the turkey gets added back in again.
Serve this lovely Boxing day turkey recipe over boiled rice or fried rice, topped with a few sesame seeds.
