Orange Turkey Stuffed with Rice & Sweet Peppadews

This dish certainly has the 'wow' factor and is perfect for a special occasion or when you're entertaining.. and it really does taste as good as it looks!

To make this 'Orange Turkey Stuffed with Rice & Sweet Peppadews' dish (sorry for the long title!) you will need (serves 2):

2 Turkey Steaks/Breast
100g Peppadew Peppers
60g Cooked Brown Rice
1 tsp Orange Rind & 450ml Unsweetened Orange Juice
4 Spring Onions
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 Fennel Bulb
1 Tbsp Cornflour
(Brocolli to Serve)

And here's what to do:

1) Using a small, sharp knife, make a slit in the centre of each turkey breast to create a pocket & then mix together the rice, orange rind, finely chopped spring onion and half of the Peppadew Peppers (season with salt and pepper).

 2) Press the mixture into the pocket of each turkey steak and press to seal. Then, heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the turkey steaks for 5 minutes each side until lightly browned.

3) Add the sliced fennel and orange juice to the pan, bring to the boil and then simmer for 20 minutes until the meat is cooked through.

4) Add the remaining Peppadew Peppers to warm through..

5) Remove the turkey steaks and stir the cornflour in to the pan.. cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring until the sauce thickens..

6) Pour the sauce over the turkey steaks, garnish with fennel sprigs and serve with vegetables of your choice (I liked it with broccoli for colour!)
