Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 8 - 10 hours
Serves: 4 

Ingredients: 

For the stock

• 50g ginger thickly sliced
• 2 onions halved
• 3 star anise
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• ½ tbsp coriander seeds
• 2 cloves
• 1 turkey
• 2-3 tbsp fish sauce
• 2 tbsp sugar

For the pho

• 200g flat rice noodles
• 400g cooked and sliced turkey 
• 100g bean sprouts blanched, or shredded carrots, or sprouts
• handful of Thai basil, mint and coriander leaves
• 2 red chillies
• 1 lime cut into wedges
• hoisin sauce and sriracha sauce, to serve

Method: 

Step 1: Toast the ginger and onion in a dry frying pan over high heat until they are richly browned. Transfer them to the slow cooker and set it to low. Lightly toast the whole spices in the same pan for a few minutes until aromatic, then add them to the slow cooker. 

Step 2: Place the carcass in the slow cooker, then pour in 3-4 litres of boiling water, ensuring the bones are fully submerged without overfilling the cooker. Cover and cook for 8-10 hours. 

Step 3: Strain the stock, discarding the bones and spices. Add the fish sauce and sugar to season. Keep it warm in the slow cooker if serving straight away. 

Step 4: Prepare the noodles according to the package instructions, then drain and divide them among serving bowls. Add the turkey and bean sprouts or vegetables on top. Transfer the stock to a jug and pour enough into each bowl to fill it. Sprinkle the herbs and chilli over the top, and serve with lime wedges and sauces on the side.
