How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the ginger and star anise 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. Roast in the hot oven, turning halfway, until golden at the edges and tender.

Stir in the rice noodles and the rest of the ginger and star anise flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

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

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