Ingredients

Cooked Turkey (400g, shredded or diced): The star of the dish.
Onion (1 large, finely chopped): Adds sweetness and depth.
Garlic (2 cloves, minced): Enhances the aroma.
Ginger (1-inch piece, grated): Adds warmth and zest.
Curry Powder (2 tbsp): The base spice for the curry.
Turmeric (1 tsp): For color and a mild earthy flavor.
Chili Powder (1/2 tsp): Optional, for a hint of heat.
Coconut Milk (400ml): Creates a creamy and rich sauce.
Tomatoes (2, chopped): Adds tang and texture.
Frozen Peas (100g): A burst of color and sweetness.
Vegetable Oil (2 tbsp): For sautéing.
Fresh Coriander (2 tbsp, chopped): Optional, for garnish.

Instructions

Step 1: Sauté the aromatics

Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for an additional minute.

Step 2: Add the spices

Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, and chili powder (if using). Cook for 1 minute to release the flavors of the spices.

Step 3: Add the tomatoes and coconut milk

Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Pour in the coconut milk and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 4: Add the turkey and peas

Stir in the cooked turkey and frozen peas. Simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the turkey to heat through. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 5: Garnish and serve

Remove the curry from the heat and garnish with fresh coriander if desired. Serve hot with rice, naan bread, or your favorite side dish.
