This slow cooker curry is a fragrant and creamy dish made with turkey, spices, and a tomato-coconut sauce. It’s a simple, hands-off recipe that allows the slow cooker to do all the work, resulting in tender meat and a deeply flavorful sauce.

Ingredients

For the Curry

  • Turkey (500g, diced or shredded, cooked or raw): The star protein.
  • Onion (1 large, finely chopped): Adds sweetness and depth.
  • Garlic (2 cloves, minced): For aroma and flavor.
  • Ginger (1 tbsp, grated): Provides warmth and zing.
  • Canned Tomatoes (400g): Forms the base of the sauce.
  • Coconut Milk (400ml): Adds creaminess and balance.
  • Vegetable Oil (2 tbsp): For sautéing.
  • Chicken or Turkey Stock (200ml): Enhances the sauce.

Spices

  • Ground Cumin (1 tsp): Adds earthiness.
  • Ground Coriander (1 tsp): For a citrusy touch.
  • Ground Turmeric (1/2 tsp): Adds color and mild flavor.
  • Paprika (1 tsp): For a smoky note.
  • Garam Masala (1 tsp): Adds warmth and depth.
  • Chili Powder (optional, 1/2 tsp): For heat.
  • Salt and Black Pepper (to taste)

Optional Garnishes

  • Fresh Cilantro (chopped): For freshness.
  • Lime Wedges: For a zesty finish.

Instructions

Step 1: Sauté the aromatics

Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for 1-2 minutes more.

Step 2: Toast the spices

Add the cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, garam masala, and chili powder (if using) to the skillet. Stir and toast the spices for 1-2 minutes to release their aroma.

Step 3: Build the sauce

Add the canned tomatoes to the skillet and stir well. Let it simmer for 5 minutes, then transfer the mixture to the slow cooker.

Step 4: Combine ingredients in the slow cooker

Add the turkey (cooked or raw), coconut milk, and stock to the slow cooker. Stir everything together and season with salt and black pepper.

Step 5: Cook the curry

Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the turkey is tender and the flavors are well combined.

Step 6: Finish and serve

Taste the curry and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges, alongside rice or naan.
