My review
Turkey Tom Kha Gai
Chef John
"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."

Ready In
- 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.
Footnotes
- Cook's Note:
- You can use white sugar in place of palm sugar, if desired. You can use young lemon leaves in place of the lime leaves, if desired.
- Tip
- Aluminum foil helps keep food moist, ensures it cooks evenly, keeps leftovers fresh, and makes clean-up easy.

Amazing! I actually made this to use up a container of baby portobellos rather than turkey, and it was delicious. I hardly ever have seconds, but did with this. I think it would be a good way to...

I am not a big fan of fish, so I halved the fish sauce. Even so, there was a fairly strong fishy flavor. Outside of that, the recipe was fabulous. I used minced lemongrass (and a lot of it!) ...

So good! Used enoki mushrooms instead, added red peppers, and bean sprouts, 1/2 cup lime juice, zest of lime and added several tablespoons of Garlic chili sauce and a bit of hot sauce!

I make a lot of soup from recipes on Allrecipes.com, and in my opinion, this is among the best.
