Ingredients
THAI GREEN TURKEY CAKES
- 275g ground turkey breast
- 20g wholemeal LSA breadcrumbs
- ½ apple, grated
- 1-1½ teaspoons Thai green curry paste (depending on heat preference)
- Juice of ½ lemon
- 1½ teaspoons soy sauce
- ½ clove garlic, minced
- 1½ teaspoons finely grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon oil
CARROT, SPINACH AND VERMICELLI NOODLES
- 100g vermicelli noodles (use half once cooked)
- ½ cabbage
- 1 carrot
- ½ bag baby spinach leaves
- 3-4 tablespoons chopped mint leaves
- 50g lemon ginger vinaigrette
Steps
-
oven to 220°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Bring a full kettle to the boil.
-
In a medium bowl, mix all Thai green turkey cake ingredients (except oil) together thoroughly using clean hands. Using clean, damp hands, shape mix into golf ball-sized balls then flatten slightly into cakes, about 1.5cm-thick.
-
Place cakes onto prepared tray and lightly brush the outside with oil (or spray). Bake (on upper oven rack) for about 8 minutes, until just cooked through. Switch oven to high grill and grill cakes for a further 3-4 minutes, until lightly browned.
-
While turkey cakes are cooking, pour boiling water over vermicelli noodles in a medium, heat-proof bowl and leave to soak for 4 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water and drain well. Snip in a few places with kitchen scissors. Remove half the noodles and set aside (you only need half for the salad, nutrition based on half the noodles).
-
While noodles are soaking, prepare veggies. Thinly slice cabbage until you have 2-3 cups worth; peel carrot and cut into thin matchsticks, grate or use a toothed peeler to create ‘noodles’; roughly chop spinach. Place all in a medium bowl, along with mint and lemon ginger vinaigrette.
-
Add noodles to bowl with salad and toss well to combine.
-
Divide carrot, spinach and vermicelli noodle salad between plates. Top with Thai green turkey cakes.
