Ingredients:
- 1 litre (4 cups) chicken stock

- 20 gm (4cm piece or 1.6 oz piece) ginger, thinly sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 star anise
- 1 tsp black peppercorns
- 1 turkey breast (about 1.4kg or 9 oz), skin on
- 200 ml (7 oz) vino cotto
- 350 ml (12.3 oz) each baby green beans and sugar snap peas, trimmed
