Sweet chilli turkey and peppers
Even small children will love this tasty, colourful dish with its hint of sweet and sour. For a change, make it with strips of chicken breast or lean pork

Approx cost for 4: £4.29
What do I need?
- 4 nests of noodles (such as medium egg thread noodles)
- 100ml chicken or vegetable stock from a cube
- 2 tsp cornflour
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 2 tbsp bottled sweet chilli dipping sauce
- 2 tsp vinegar
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 sweet bell peppers — 1 red, 1 yellow and 1 green, thinly sliced
- 500g turkey thigh, diced
How do I make it?
- Cook the noodles according to pack instructions; drain and keep warm. While the noodles are cooking, whisk the next five ingredients together in a bowl.
- Heat half the oil in a wok or large frying pan and fry the peppers over a high heat, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
- Add the turkey and the rest of the oil, and stir for another 4 minutes, or until the turkey is cooked through with no pink bits and the peppers are soft.
- Tip the sauce mix into the pan and stir over a high heat until it thickens, then serve on the drained noodles.
"The children loved the sweet chilli turkey. The contrast of the peppers with the turkey made Amanjit think he was eating a rainbow! This was very good value for money and I know we'll be making it again."
Rani, mum of Sarah, 19, Sonia, 14, and Amanjit, 4
