WW Points
Makes 4 servings.

1/2 cup apple juice
1/4 cup bottled hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 small red, green, and/or yellow sweet peppers, cut into bite-size strips
1 medium onion, cut into thin wedges
2 tablespoons cooking oil
4 turkey breast tenderloin steaks, cut 1/2 inch thick (about 1 pound total)
1 tablespoon cold water
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 small apple or pear, cored and cut into wedges


In a small bowl combine apple juice, hoisin sauce, ginger, salt, and cayenne pepper; set aside.

In a large skillet cook sweet peppers and onion in hot oil over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes or until nearly tender. Remove vegetables, reserving oil in skillet. Add turkey to skillet; cook about 4 minutes or until light brown, turning once.

Return vegetables to skillet; add apple juice mixture. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes or until turkey is no longer pink (170ºF).

Using a slotted spoon, transfer turkey and vegetables to a serving platter; cover and keep warm.

In a small bowl combine water and cornstarch; stir into liquid in skillet. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Stir in apple. Cover and cook about 3 minutes more or just until apple is slightly softened. Serve over turkey and vegetables.
