Pitted green olives
60 g, (1/3 cup) pitted, thinly sliced
Currants

Fresh flat-leaf parsley

Fresh ginger
1 tbs, finely grated
Lemon zest
2 tsp
Lemon juice
2 tbs
Honey

Oil spray

Instructions
1
Place the couscous in a heatproof bowl. Add 1 cup (250ml) boiling water. Cover, then allow to stand for 3–5 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork to separate the grains. Stir in the oil.
2
Add the onion, olives, currants, parsley and half the orange juice to the couscous. Stir to combine.
3
Lightly spray a large non-stick frying pan with oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and cook for 4–5 minutes each side or until cooked through. Remove from the pan.
4
Add the ginger to the pan and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the zest, lemon juice, honey and remaining orange juice. Simmer, stirring, for 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Return turkey to the pan and cook, turning to coat in the sauce, for 1 minute.
5
Serve couscous with the turkey drizzled with the citrus sauce.
