Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a large frying pan, a large mixing bowl, a sieve & a peeler

Do the prep

  • Finely chop the coriander. Peel the carrots into ribbons. Trim and finely slice the cabbage
  • Add the noodles to the saucepan, gently separate with a fork and boil for 3-4 mins, until cooked. Add the mangetout to the pan for the final minute, then drain together and rinse under cold water

Make the crispy turkey

  • Heat the large frying pan over medium-high heat with 2 tsp oil. Once hot, add the turkey and cook for 6-8 mins, breaking it up with a spoon, until the turkey is crispy and golden. Season with salt and pepper

Dressing time

  • Meanwhile, halve the lime
  • Mix the juice from the lime with the peanut butter, tamari, ginger & garlic paste, honey, 2 tbsp oil and 1 tbsp water in the large mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper and stir until smooth

Toss the salad

  • When ready, add the cooked noodles, mangetout, carrot ribbons, cabbage and half the turkey to the bowl with the dressing. Toss to coat

Plate up

  • Share the noodle salad between bowls
  • Top with the remaining turkey and sprinkle over the coriander and chilli flakes (to taste) to finish
