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

  • Pull out a large lidded frying pan, a medium frying pan, a large bowl, a small bowl & a measuring jug

Cook the turkey

  • Add the turkey to the large bowl and coat with the cornflour, shichimi togarashi (or to taste) and a pinch of salt and pepper
  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the turkey and cook for 16 mins, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through

Soften the veg

  • Meanwhile, dice the pepper into 1cm chunks. Halve the mangetout
  • Heat the medium frying pan with 1/2 tbsp oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the pepper and mangetout and cook for 4-5 mins

Make the sauce

  • Halve the lemon
  • In the small bowl, mix together the juice from the lemon, ginger & garlic paste and honey
  • Once the turkey is golden, add the sauce to the pan. Cover with a lid and cook for a final 2 mins, until the turkey is coated in the sauce

Build the veggie rice

  • Add the rice, tamari and 50ml water (25ml for 1 person) to the veg pan
  • Break up the rice with a wooden spoon and cook for 2-3 mins, until piping hot
  • Thinly slice the spring onions, then stir half through the rice

Plate up

  • Check your turkey is cooked through by cutting a large piece in half; the flesh should be white and the juices running clear
  • Share the lemon turkey between bowls, with the veggie rice alongside. Garnish with the remaining spring onion
