Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Pull out a large frying pan, a medium saucepan, a sieve, a measuring jug & a grater

Prep time

  • Roughly dice the onion. Roughly chop the coriander. Finely grate the ginger. Trim and halve the broccoli. Thinly slice the courgette into half-moons. Halve the lime

Build the soup

  • Heat the large frying pan with 1/2 tsp oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the turkey and cook for 10 mins
  • Add the onion, broccoli & courgette. Cook for 4 mins, until starting to soften
  • Stir in the Thai red curry paste, ginger, hot honey, and lemongrass puree and cook for a further minute
  • Add the creamed coconut, stock powder and 400ml hot water (200ml for 1 person). Bring to a boil and simmer for 4 mins, until the turkey is cooked through. Season with salt and pepper

Cook the noodles

  • Bring the medium saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Once boiling, add the noodles, gently separate with a fork and boil for 6-7 mins, until cooked. Drain, then rinse under cold water

Plate up

  • Check your turkey pieces are cooked through; the meat should be white with the juices running clear
  • Stir half the coriander and the juice from half the lime through the soup
  • Share the noodles between bowls, then pour over the Thai red turkey soup. Garnish with the remaining coriander and lime, cut into wedges
