Brothy Chinese Noodles

Ohhh buddy this dish is so good! It was a little time consuming with all of the steps and chopping (about 35 minutes which is more time than I like to spend cooking). The prep work was well worth it.

Recipe:

2 tablespoons hot sesame oil (see Note), divided
1 pound 93%-lean ground turkey (I don't like ground turkey so I cut up chicken breast)
1 bunch scallions, sliced, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
3/4 cup water
3 cups thinly sliced bok choy (it's a veggie that looks like lettuce)
8 ounces dried Chinese noodles (see Note)
3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar (I just used regular vinegar)
1 small cucumber, sliced into matchsticks, for garnish

Preparation
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add ground turkey, all but 2 tablespoons of the scallions, garlic and ginger and cook, stirring and breaking up the turkey, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Add broth, water, bok choy, noodles, soy sauce, vinegar and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan. Bring to a boil over medium-high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Return the turkey mixture to the pan and stir to combine. Serve garnished with the reserved 2 tablespoons scallions and cucumber (if using).
