Leftover turkey noodles
Spicy with bright splashes of citrus, these leftover noodles can easily be switched up depending on what you have in the fridge.
- 500g cooked turkey
- 250g medium egg noodles
- 100g sprouts
- 2 spring onions
- 2 limes
- 2 carrots
- 2 parsnips
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 red chilli
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp brown sugar
Prepare your vegetables. Roll the lime against a hard work surface with the flat of your hand, cut in half and squeeze out the juice - you’ll get more juice this way.
Â
Thinly slice the garlic clove and chilli. Don’t want to get spice on your hands? Wear plastic gloves while you chop!
Â
Wash and slice the spring onion at an angle (this is called a ‘horse ear’ and is a similar shape to penne pasta).
Â
Slice the sprouts, parsnips and carrots.Â
Â
And finally, slice your leftover turkey into bite-size pieces.
Follow the pack instructions and cook the noodles.
Â
Once cooked, drain and rinse under cold water. The water prevents the noodles from sticking together as they cool.
Â
While the noodles cook, parboil your sprouts for a few minutes.
Â
Mix the lime juice, sugar and soy sauce.
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan.
Â
Cook the sprouts, parsnip and carrot until they start to soften.
Â
Add the garlic, turkey, spring onions and chilli and cook for another 2 minutes. Finally, add the noodles back into the pan and cook for another minute.
Pour the soy sauce mixture into the pan and toss the veg and noodles so they’re coated.
Â
Once everything is warm and covered in soy sauce, tip into bowls.
Â
You can serve this with peanuts, coriander or some lime wedges.
