TURKEY PHO
This spicy antidote will lift you out of the dip between Christmas and New Year, and it is a great soup for leftover turkey. Fill deep bowls with rice noodles, steaming broth & turkey, before scattering over any extra garnishes to taste.
“After all the indulgence of Christmas Day, my body is craving a long walk and a big bowl of something fresh and nourishing. This Vietnamese-inspired Turkey Pho is exactly that. The perfect warming bowl of goodness that not only wakes up your taste buds, but also uses up leftover turkey and vegetables. Make the delicious stock by gently simmering the turkey carcass overnight and the rest can be done when you’re ready to eat the next day.”
