This recipe is prepared with turkey tenderloin, a tender, lean meat that is very easy to cook. It is seared in the pan in just a few minutes and bathed in a sweet and sour lemon, honey, and soy sauce that gives it a fresh and different touch. We hope you enjoy it.

Method

The turkey

Rinse the turkey tenderloin, drain it, and cut it into rounds or strips about 2 cm thick.
Season the strips with salt and pepper, add a little lemon juice, and set them aside in the refrigerator for a while.

The lemon mixture

Zest the lemon and reserve the zest. Then squeeze it and put the juice in a glass.
Add the cornstarch, soy sauce, and one ounce of water to the glass. Stir well so everything is integrated and set aside.

Cooking and assembly

Heat the oil in a pan, add the turkey you had in the refrigerator, and let it brown evenly.
When it is cooked to your liking, remove it from the heat and serve it on a plate.
In a small saucepan, put the rest of the water, the sugar, the honey, and half of the lemon zest.

When it starts to boil, lower the heat, add the mixture from the glass, and stir constantly until the sauce thickens to your liking.
Serve the sauce over the turkey.
Garnish the plate with sesame seeds and a few touches of the remaining lemon zest. Enjoy!
