Method

Combine the turkey mince, ginger, coriander and lime zest in a mixing bowl. Roll into 16 balls and set aside on a tray.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat and fry the curry paste for 2-3 mins until aromatic. Pour in the coconut milk and chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Add the meatballs and cook for 5 mins, then add the vegetables; simmer for 3-4 mins or until just tender.
Meanwhile, cook the noodles to pack instructions, then drain and briefly rinse under cold water. Season the broth with the lime juice, then divide the noodles between 4 bowls. Spoon over the broth, meatballs and vegetables and serve with the lime wedges, spring onions, chilli and extra coriander.
