This recipe for crispy chilli turkey noodles is another one David found on the BBC Good Food website when doing a search for turkey recipes. It's actually a very quick dish to make, is low in fat and big on flavour. Just make sure you've got all the ingredients looked out and prepared, where necessary. The first time I made it, I halved the recipe as I was only cooking for the 2 of us and got a bit worried about the mince as it was frying on a high heat. It started to look very grey and crumbly but, was taking on colour. Thankfully, after the honey, soy and chilli sauce were added at the end of step 1, it looked a whole lot better...and tasted absolutely delicous!!
The end result is crispy chilli turkey that is hot and sweet, with noodles that are fresh from the lime juice with crunchy carrots and spring onions to garnish. We hope you give this one a try!!
Tips
- I used fresh udon noodles and just boiled them for 3 minutes as per the packet instructions.
- The recipe is easily halved.
