In a small bowl, mix cornflour with water until smooth. Stir in soy sauce and fish sauce; set aside.
Heat sunflower oil in a non-stick wok. Add red onion, garlic, ginger and chilli; stir-fry over a fairly high heat for about 1 minute to release flavours. Add turkey and chilli powder; stir for about 4 minutes or until turkey is coloured all over.
Add red pepper and courgette; stir-fry over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Add beansprouts; stir-fry for 1-2 minutes or until vegetables are softened and turkey is cooked.
Add cornflour mixture to wok; stir-fry over a medium heat for 1-2 minutes or until thickened and bubbling. Remove from heat; stir in coriander. Serve with rice.
