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.

  1. Coarsely grate the carrots (peel optional). Thinly slice the peppers. Slice the spring onion at an angle. Trim the broccoli.
  2. Make the sweet chilli sauce; place the cornflour in a small bowl with 100ml cold water and stir to dissolve. Add the chilli paste (use half for less heat), tamari, honey, vinegar and ginger & garlic paste. Mix well.
  3. Heat a large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the turkey and season with sea salt and black pepper. Cook for 10 mins, until golden brown, then add the broccoli and cook for 2-3 mins, until the turkey is cooked through. Add the sauce and simmer for 2-3 mins, until the sauce thickens and the veg is soft. Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
  4. Heat a large wok or frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the carrots and peppers. Cook for 3-5 mins until soft, then add the rice and break it up with a wooden spoon. Add a splash of water and cook for 2-3 mins, until piping hot. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
  5. Check your turkey is cooked through by cutting a large piece in half; the meat should be white with the juices running clear. Cook for longer if necessary.
  6. Serve the vegetable rice with the sweet chilli turkey. Scatter over the sesame seeds and spring onion to garnish.
