Turkey-Noodle Soup With Ginger and Chillies

This fragrant turkey noodle soup with ginger and chillies is a vibrant, high-protein dish that breathes new life into cooked poultry. Inspired by the clean, aromatic flavours of Southeast Asian cuisine, the broth is infused with fresh ginger and shallots, providing a warming base that is both light and deeply satisfying. It is an excellent choice for a nutritious midweek meal, especially when you are looking for something restorative that does not compromise on punchy, zesty flavour.

Perfect for a healthy lunch or a simple supper, this versatile recipe allows you to customise the heat and freshness at the table. Adding crunchy bean sprouts, cooling mint, and a squeeze of zingy lime creates a wonderful contrast against the tender turkey and soft rice noodles. It is an ideal way to use up leftover roast turkey while maintaining a focus on lean protein and fresh, whole ingredients.
