  • 2 red chillies, sliced
  • 2.5cm piece of ginger, grated
  • 450g turkey mince
  • 5 tsp fish sauce
  • 1.5 tsp brown sugar
  • Heat about 4 tbsp of oil to your wok or frying pan, and chuck in the shallots and garlic to stir-fry for 2 mins. Add the ginger and chillies, and give a couple of vigorous stirs, then add the basil.
