Ingredients
- 500g pack Essential 8% Fat Turkey Thigh Mince
- 5 tbsp frozen chopped shallots
- ½ x 25g pack coriander, leaves picked, stalks finely chopped
- 2 unwaxed limes, zest and juice of 1, 1 cut into wedges
- 2 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp sunflower oil
- 1 L Itsu Beef Pho Broth
- 2 x 190g packs baby corn & sugar snap peas
- 180g pack rice noodles
Method
Tip the mince into a bowl with 1 tbsp shallots, the coriander stalks, the lime zest and 1 tbsp fish sauce. Mix well. Heat the oil in a large sauté (or deep) pan over a high heat. Add the turkey mixture and fry, stirring often, for 8-10 minutes, until brown, crisp and fully cooked with no pink meat and juices that run clear. Tip into a bowl.
Meanwhile, put the remaining shallots in a small bowl with the juice of 1 lime and the remaining fish sauce. Set aside to lightly pickle. Put the kettle on to boil.
ut the turkey pan back on the heat, add the broth and bring to the boil. Roughly chop the vegetables, then, when the broth is simmering, add to the pan with the browned mince. Cook for 4 minutes until just tender.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, soak the noodles according to pack instructions. Divide the noodles between deep bowls, then ladle over the broth. Scatter with the pickled shallots, coriander leaves and remaining lime zest, and serve with the lime wedges.
Cook’s tip
Fry the turkey mince a day ahead, cool, cover and keep in the fridge. Pickle the shallots early, cover and chill. Carry on from step 3 when you’re ready, and make sure the turkey is piping hot before serving.
