1 pound ground turkey
1/2 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs) or fresh breadcrumbs
1 scallion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely grated
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
1 teaspoon finely grated peeled ginger
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more
6 ounces sugar snap peas, strings removed
1 medium red, yellow, or orange bell pepper, seeds and ribs removed, sliced into 1/4"-thick strips
4 ounces dried rice noodles, such as pad Thai noodles
2 teaspoons virgin coconut or neutral vegetable oil
For the broth:
1 tablespoon virgin coconut or neutral vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 1/2 tsp. finely grated peeled ginger
1 1/2 cups canned unsweetened coconut milk
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tsp. soy sauce
3/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 cup Thai red curry paste (optional)
Lime wedges, basil leaves, sliced scallion, sliced red chiles, chopped peanuts (for serving; optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet or 13x9" glass or metal baking dish with parchment.
  • Beat egg in a large bowl with a fork. Add turkey, panko, scallion, garlic, soy sauce, ginger, and 1/2 tsp. salt and stir well to combine. Using your hands, roll mixture into 1" balls, packing firmly (you should have about 30). Transfer to prepared baking sheet.
  • Roast meatballs, turning once halfway through, until firm and cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of meatball registers 165°F, 15-20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook snap peas and bell pepper in a medium pot of boiling well-salted water 2 minutes. Transfer to a colander with a spider, slotted spoon, or tongs, reserving water in pot. Transfer to a medium bowl. Return water to a boil and cook noodles according to package directions. Drain noodles, then transfer to a large bowl and toss with oil.
  • Option 1: For turkey meatballs, plain noodles, and vegetables:
  • To make plain noodles with no broth, divide noodles among bowls and top with meatballs, snap peas, and bell pepper, or separate into different sections on a plate.
  • Option 2: For a mild coconut broth noodle bowl:
  • Heat oil in a medium pot over medium. Add garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Add coconut milk, broth, lime juice, soy sauce, and salt. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
  • Divide noodles among bowls. Ladle broth over and top with meatballs, snap peas, and bell pepper.
  • Option 3: For a spicy red curry noodle bowl (optional):
  • Whisk curry paste into coconut broth mixture (or keep half of broth "plain" to make 2 mild bowls, and whisk 2 Tbsp. curry paste into remaining half to make 2 spicy bowls).
  • Divide noodles among bowls. Ladle broth over and top with meatballs, snap peas, and bell peppers. Garnish with lime wedges, basil, scallions, chiles, peanuts, if using.
  • Do Ahead

TURKEY AND NOODLES



Turkey and Noodles image

This comforting family recipe belongs to Whitney Reynolds, a New Yorker with roots in Tennessee. She traditionally serves the dish of thickened turkey broth and noodle-shaped dumplings as a side at her Thanksgiving dinner, next to the roasted bird and mashed potatoes. The yolk-rich noodles, rolled and cut with a knife, are dried out for some hours at room temperature. That way, they become strong enough to withstand a long boil during which they soak up the flavors of the roasted turkey stock, going tender and sticky-edged. The stock reduces, until it's somewhere between soup and gravy. Ms. Reynolds, a noodle purist, would never put turkey meat in the dish, but the day after Thanksgiving, when there's often a little left over, it's hard to imagine a better place for it to end up. Consider it optional.

Provided by Tejal Rao

Categories     dinner, lunch, pastas, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
6 egg yolks
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted but cool
1/4 cup heavy cream
8 cups turkey broth (see recipe)
1 cup roasted, shredded turkey meat (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together yolks, butter and cream, then slowly add to the dry ingredients, beating together with a fork. When the dough gets too stiff for the fork, use your hands to mix and knead in the bowl until dough is yellow and smooth. Wrap well with plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
  • Flour a work surface, and roll out dough until it's about 1/4 of an inch thick, dusting with more flour as needed. Use a pizza roller or long knife to cut the dough into thick noodle shapes measuring just under 2 inches by 1/2 inch. Spread cut noodles out on lightly floured parchment paper, cover with a clean dishcloth and let sit out at room temperature for about 6 hours, or overnight.
  • In a large pot, bring turkey stock to a hard boil, then add the noodles, stirring gently. Boil until noodles are moist and tender all the way through and the broth has reduced and thickened like a gravy, about 30 to 40 minutes. If adding turkey meat, stir into the pot in the last 10 minutes of cooking. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper and serve in shallow bowls.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 20m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon egg white, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon rice wine or dry sherry
Salt to taste
1 1/2 teaspoons water
1/2 pound turkey cutlets, cut across the grain in 1/4-inch thick slices
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock
1 tablespoon soy sauce (more to taste)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or 1 to 2 serrano or Thai chiles, minced
6 ounces soba noodles (2 bundles)
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil, peanut oil, sunflower oil or canola oil
1/2 medium cabbage, shredded (about 4 cups)
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced, dark green parts separated
1/2 cup coarsely chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • In a large bowl stir together egg white, cornstarch, 1 1/2 teaspoons of rice wine or sherry, salt to taste and 1 1/2 teaspoons water. When you can no longer see any undissolved cornstarch add turkey and stir until coated. Cover bowl and place in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Combine stock, soy sauce, remaining rice wine or sherry, salt to taste and sugar in a small bowl and stir until salt and sugar dissolve. Combine garlic, ginger, and pepper flakes or minced chile in another bowl. Have everything within reach of your wok.
  • Cook the soba in a large saucepan and toss with 2 teaspoons sesame oil. Do not drain the water. Bring it back to a boil and turn the heat down so that water is at a bare simmer. Carefully add turkey to the water, stirring so that the pieces don't clump. Cook until turkey turns opaque on the surface but is not cooked through, about 1 minute. Drain in a colander, then on paper towels.
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the wok. Swirl in grapeseed oil, peanut oil, sunflower oil or canola oil and add garlic, ginger and chile mixture. Stir-fry no more than 10 seconds and add turkey, cabbage and the light parts of the scallions. Stir-fry 2 minutes. Add noodles and the broth mixture. Reduce heat to medium and stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes. Add cilantro and dark green part of the scallions and stir-fry another 30 seconds to a minute, until well combined. Serve, garnished with cilantro sprigs if desired.
