Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we've revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
Pull out a large frying pan, a medium frying pan, a sieve & a measuring jug

Cook the rice & prep

Add the rice to the saucepan and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain
Meanwhile, dice the pepper into 1cm chunks. Quarter the tomatoes. Finely chop or crush the garlic

Fry the turkey

Heat the medium frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the turkey and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 15 mins, stirring frequently until golden brown and cooked through

Combine the flavours

Heat the large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pepper and cook for 3-4 mins, until beginning to soften
Add the paprika, half the peri peri seasoning and half the garlic and cook for 1 min, then stir in the peas, stock powder and 100ml water (50ml for 1 person). Bring to the boil and simmer for 2 mins, until thickened
When ready, stir the cooked rice into the pan until combined. Add a splash of water if it's a little dry

Finish the turkey

Add the remaining peri peri spice and garlic to the turkey and cook for 30 secs, then stir in the sundried tomato paste, hot honey and a splash of water
Toss to coat the turkey, cook for 1 min, then remove from the heat

Assemble the salad & plate up

In the medium bowl, toss the salad leaves with the tomatoes and balsamic vinegar
Check your turkey pieces are cooked through; the meat should be white with the juices running clear
Share the peri peri turkey between bowls, with the rice and salad alongside
