TURKEY AND NOODLES RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Once hot, add the turkey mince to the pan and fry for 10-12 mins until golden brown and crispy, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon as you go. Add the ginger and garlic to the pan and cook for 1 min. Stir in the honey, soy and chilli sauce and cook for 2 mins.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pan of water to the boil, add the noodles and cook following pack instructions. Drain and toss the noodles with the remaining 1 tbsp oil and all the lime juice, then divide between bowls. Top with the crispy turkey mince, carrot, onion and coriander. Serve with extra lime wedges for squeezing over, if you like.

Steps:

• In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat oil to medium high. Salt and pepper the turkey thighs on both sides. Place the thighs in the pan and brown well on all sides.
• When the turkey is well browned, add the chunks of vegetables and the garlic and saute them for a few minutes.Add the chicken broth, water (just enough to cover the turkey and veggies) and bay leaves. Add poultry seasoning here if desired.
• Bring to a boil and then turn down heat to medium and simmer the mixture until turkey is tender and the internal temperature is 160 to 170 degrees F. Remove turkey from broth, let cool. Remove skin and bone from turkey and discard. Chop meat into bite sized chunks.
• Strain broth through a sieve and discard the vegetables. Defat the broth, place back into the Dutch oven, bring to a boil and add the noodles. Turn heat to medium and add the cubed or sliced vegetables. Cook until noodles are tender, stirring frequently to avoid sticking. (Cooking generally takes longer than is indicated on the package for these noodles.)
• When noodles are tender to your preference, add the chopped turkey meat and heat through. Add salt and pepper to taste. By the time the noodles are done, and the turkey reheated, most of the broth should be absorbed and thickened. (If you like more broth, add another can of chicken broth) Serve HOT.
