Time 1h5m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 yellow onion, diced
One 2-inch piece ginger, peeled and chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro stems (from 1 bunch), plus chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
One 28-ounce can whole tomatoes
1 1/2 cups low-sodium turkey or chicken stock
1/2 pound russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/3-inch cubes
3 cups cubed turkey breast
1 cup frozen peas
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons lime juice (from 2 limes)
Rice, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Heat a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the coconut oil and swirl to melt and coat the base of the pot. Add the onion, ginger, garlic, cilantro stems and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the tomato paste and stir to coat the vegetables. Add the curry powder, cumin, coriander and cayenne and stir to combine and toast the spices. Add the tomatoes, stock, and potatoes to the pot. Bring the mixture up to a boil, then turn the heat down to low, cover the pot and let simmer until the potatoes are very tender, about 25 minutes.
  • Add the turkey and peas to the pot and simmer until heated through, another 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the cream and lime juice.
  • Ladle the curry into bowls and garnish with the chopped cilantro. Serve with rice, if desired.

TURKEY AND SPINACH CURRY



Turkey and Spinach Curry image

With the coconut milk, the preroasted turkey and the fresh spinach, there's plenty of flavor in this little stew. Plenty of ease, too; the whole thing (including the rice you probably want to serve it with, though I could imagine it over leftover stuffing) takes less than a half hour, not much longer than sandwiches.

BRIDGET JONES'S TURKEY BUFFET CURRY IN A HURRY!



Bridget Jones's Turkey Buffet Curry in a Hurry! image

This is another one of my daughter's student recipes! She made it up one evening, when deciding what to have for supper, based on her fridge and storecupboard contents!! She has cooked it for us at home, and now I have decided to post it on Zaar, as it is such an easy and inexpensive recipe! Obviously home-made curry powder is always best - but any good quality curry powder will do; this is a curry in a hurry, and aptly named in honour of Bridget Jones's Turkey Curry Buffet, the annual event that she is forced to attend at her parent's house every New Year's Day! Have fun and enjoy!

TURKEY CURRY IN A HURRY (COOK'S ILLUSTRATED)



Turkey Curry in a Hurry (Cook's Illustrated) image

A very good way to use leftover turkey or chicken. CI recommends using only whole milk yogurt (not low- or non-fat), as the sauce otherwise will be thin and can have an off flavor. I often have left-over roasted veggies, or will use a combo of sweet and white potatoes, cauliflower, squash, red onions. I serve this with rice or couscous, and sometimes add dried cranberries instead of raisins - I doubt that's Indian, but it works together well. Time does not include time to roast veggies, if you have none handy.
