This is a substantial meal in a bowl thanks to the inclusion of vermicelli noodles and ground turkey. The sauce is a sweet and savory mix of chicken broth, lime zest and juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, fish sauce, and chili-garlic paste. Then the turkey, broccoli, ginger, and garlic are all cooked in one skillet, so you won't have a ton of pots and pans to clean up when you're done. Got some leftovers? This noodle dish will keep refrigerated for up to 2 days. You don’t even have to reheat it—enjoy it chilled, the way bowls of noodles are often served in Asian countries.
