2 teaspoons lemon peel
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
1 teaspoon honey
2/3 cup boiling water
1 pound cubed turkey breast
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided

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.

In a large nonstick skillet or wok, stir-fry turkey in 1 tablespoon hot oil until no longer pink; remove and keep warm. In the same pan, stir-fry the onions, celery and red pepper in remaining oil until crisp-tender. Return turkey to the pan.
