Turkey laksa

Turkey isn't just for Christmas. Packed with protein, vitamins and lean too, it makes a great substitute for that other white meat

    Nice easy soup to make. We used pre-cooked turkey strips and fresh rice noodles.

    I haven't really cooked anything like this before but found it really easy to make and it tasted delicious. I used 2 tbsp of thai curry paste which gave a lovely flavour and heat, and I cheated with some fine thread straight to wok noodles - no-one noticed! Would definitely make again for an easy midweek meal and something different to do with diced turkey.

    Great easy meal. I substituted the turkey for chicken breast and whole prawns which was delicious and added a bit more substance. 2tbsp of the curry paste added a nice kick without too much heat, could definitely add a bit more chilli if you like it hot. Very simple to cook, i would definitely make it again.

    This is great. Really simple and tasty too. Ideal after work. I halved all the ingredients (cooking for 2) but I would probably add more paste next time as I like things hot (or buy better paste!) Highly recommend this!

    Used chicken breasts instead of turkey. Full fat coconut, instead of "light". Very tasty and filling.

    This was easy to make, tasted nice enough and seemed to make loads but I don't think I'll rush to make it again. I know it defeats the "low fat" aspect of the recipe but I think I'd prefer to use full fat coconut milk as the reduced fat stuff didn't add much flavour it just made the sauce look creamier.

    Really quick and very tasty. I used full fat coconut milk, seasoned it with fish sauce, used palm sugar and swapped the beansprouts for green beans and baby corn :) Delicious!

    Really enjoyed this as i love oriental spicy soups - I'll make it with chicken next time though as the turkey just takes quite turkey like!
