Method
step 1
Break the turkey carcass apart, if needed, using a knife. Tip the pieces into a large saucepan and add the ginger rounds, garlic, coriander stalks, spring onions and peppercorns. Cover with 800ml water and bring to a simmer over a medium heat. Once simmering, skim away and discard any scum that rises to the surface. Simmer for 45 mins-1 hr until fragrant and the flavours have combined. Strain through a large sieve set over a large bowl, then discard the contents of the sieve. Return the strained liquid to the pan.
step 2
Add the grated ginger, turkey meat, soy sauce, sugar and a splash of lemon juice. Bring back to a simmer and cook for 5 mins until the turkey meat is piping hot. Season to taste with pepper and a little more lemon juice, if needed.
step 3
Divide the rice between shallow bowls. Top with a few ladles of the broth, then scatter over the coriander leaves, crispy chilli oil and crispy onions to serve.
