Pan-Seared Turkey with soy and ginger

This Japanese Broth leans on soy and ginger to do the heavy lifting. We sear the Turkey for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.

Pan-Seared Turkey with soy and ginger
Method

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the soy and ginger elements, and pat the turkey dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Turn up the heat and add the turkey. Sear in a hot pan without crowding until a deep golden crust forms, then rest briefly.

Stir in the dashi stock and the rest of the soy and ginger flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the peas along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.

Finish with the chopped scallion and serve while hot.

Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
