Ingredients

For the Curry Base

  • Cooked Turkey (400g, shredded): Use leftover roast turkey for convenience.
  • Onion (1 large, finely chopped): Adds sweetness and depth.
  • Garlic (2 cloves, minced): Enhances the aromatic flavors.
  • Fresh Ginger (1 tbsp, grated): Adds warmth and spice.
  • Curry Powder (2 tbsp): For the primary curry flavor.
  • Ground Turmeric (1 tsp): Adds color and depth.
  • Ground Cumin (1 tsp): Provides earthy, nutty notes.
  • Canned Tomatoes (400g): This creates a rich and tangy base.
  • Coconut Milk (300ml): Adds creaminess and balances the spices.
  • Vegetable Oil (2 tbsp): For sautéing.
  • Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Optional Additions

  • Peas (100g): Adds a pop of sweetness and color.
  • Fresh Coriander (for garnish): Brightens and freshens the dish.

Instructions

Step 1: Sauté the aromatics

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and golden. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 2: Add the spices

Add the curry powder, turmeric, and cumin to the pan. Stir well and cook for 1 minute to release the flavors of the spices.

Step 3: Add the tomatoes

Pour in the canned tomatoes and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 4: Stir in the coconut milk

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the coconut milk. Simmer for 5 minutes to create a creamy, flavorful sauce.

Step 5: Add the turkey

Gently fold in the shredded turkey and peas (if using). Simmer for 10 minutes, or until the turkey is heated through and the peas are tender.

Step 6: Season and garnish

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh coriander before serving.

Step 7: Serve

Serve the turkey curry hot with steamed rice, naan bread, or chapati.
