Ingredients

2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons lemon peel
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
1 teaspoon honey
2/3 cup boiling water
1 pound turkey breast, cubed
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
1/2 cup sliced green onions

In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce and lemon peel until smooth. Dissolve bouillon and honey in boiling water; stir into the cornstarch mixture. Set aside.

Stir bouillon mixture and pour over turkey mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add water chestnuts and peas; heat through. Stir in lemon juice and pepper. Serve over rice if desired. Yield: 4 servings.
