    Turkey and broccoli stir fry is a fantastic quick healthy meal. A cost conscious stir fry it's ideal for those on limited budgets. Tasty, easy to prepare and packed full of nutritional goodness too!

    Now who doesn’t love a stir fry? And this tasty healthy turkey and broccoli stir fry packs a fair punch in terms of vitamins and protein too.

    And yes of course you CAN substitute the turkey breasts with chicken breasts if you like, no problems!

    I’ve done this turkey and broccoli stir fry with either and it turns out just as well.

    As the turkey is marinated prior to cooking it, in a delicious lightly spiced sauce, it also stays succulent rather than being the dry meat it can be.

    My reason for advocating turkey breasts here is that they are often overlooked and cheaper than chicken.

    I can usually buy them from the reduced section of our local supermarket and freeze them straight away until needed.

    If you’re on a tight budget at the moment, like we are, then they are ideal!

    The other ingredients in this turkey and broccoli stir fry don’t have to cost the earth either.

    I’ve used frozen broccoli before (just make sure it’s completely defrosted) and you should be able to get a cheap small packet of cashew nuts from the healthy snacks section of your local supermarket too.

    Ingredients

    • 340 g lean turkey (or chicken) breasts
    • 1 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder

      I love nuts in a stir fry, and, Neil, yours doesn't disappoint! This sounds fantastic! I am always in a hurry when I make a stir fry and never though to marinate the meat first - gotta try that trick next time!

        Thanks Shashi, I'm with you there, totally. Nuts in a stir fry are amazing!

        I've marinated the turkey for this dish overnight before and it really comes out well too. 🙂
