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

  • Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a large frying pan, measuring jug, a sieve & a peeler or julienne peeler

Get started

  • Peel the courgette into ribbons (or use a julienne peeler or spiralizer if you have one). Trim and slice the pak choi and spring onions into bite-sized pieces. Halve the carrot lengthways and thinly slice into 1/2cm half-moons
  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the turkey and cook for 10 mins, stirring frequently, until golden brown

Time to noodle

  • Meanwhile, add the noodles to the saucepan, gently separate with a fork and simmer for 3-4 mins, until cooked. Drain, then rinse under cold water

Build the laksa

  • Add the spring onion and carrot to the turkey pan and cook for 5 mins, until softened
  • Add the ginger & garlic paste, lemongrass puree and Sri Lankan spice. Cook for 1 min, until fragrant
  • Stir in the stock powder, coconut milk and 200ml water (100ml for 1 person) and bring to the boil
  • Add the pak choi and courgette ribbons. Simmer for 2 mins, until the turkey is cooked through and the veg is soft. Stir through the cooked noodles

Finish & plate up

  • Roughly chop the coriander
  • Check your turkey pieces are cooked through; the meat should be white with the juices running clear
  • Share the turkey laksa between bowls. Sprinkle over the coriander
