Turkey Tom Kha Gai image

One of the great blessings, and curses, of Thanksgiving is leftover turkey. That's where this spicy Thai coconut soup recipe comes in. This is my take on Tom Kha Gai, and as usual I make no claim as to its authenticity. I do know it tastes amazing and will make you forget you even roasted a turkey. Garnish with chili oil, cilantro leaves, and lime wedges.

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 cups turkey broth
2 stalks lemongrass, bruised and sliced
1 (3 inch) piece fresh ginger, sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro stems
2 kaffir lime leaves, sliced, or more to taste
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more to taste
1 pound cooked turkey, cut into small cubes
1 cup clamshell mushrooms, separated
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 teaspoons palm sugar
1 (13 ounce) can coconut milk
¼ cup lime juice
¼ cup green onions, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
¼ teaspoon chili oil, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Combine turkey broth, lemongrass, ginger, cilantro stems, lime leaves, and red pepper flakes in a pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until flavors blend, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Stain broth mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, discard vegetables, and return broth to the pot.
  • Stir turkey, mushrooms, fish sauce, and palm sugar into broth; simmer until mushrooms are tender and turkey absorbs broth flavor, about 15 minutes.
  • Pour coconut milk, lime juice, green onions, and cilantro leaves into broth. Bring soup to a simmer and drizzle in chili oil.

I thought the turkey was a bit dry and bland. The broth, however, was excellent.

Very nice, but definitely not a traditional Tom Kha Gai recipe. If you know what you are doing and are looking for a new take on the classic, this is your recipe.

Excellent! My new favorite Tom Kha Gai recipe. The lemongrass and galangal add such a nice flavor.

One of the best Tom Kha Gai recipes I've ever tried! The turkey was tender and juicy, and the broth was flavorful and creamy.
