Leftover Turkey Curry - Best Recipe
Since the turkey has been reheated this recipe is NOT suitable for freezing. You will need a food processor for this recipe.
Ingredients:
1 large onion
a thumb-sized piece of fresh ginger - peeled
3 fat garlic cloves - peeled
2 red chillies - deseeded
Pop the above into a food processor along with a splash of water and whiz it up till you have a nice paste.
You will also need:
a couple of tablespoons of ghee or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon of ground coriander
2 teaspoons of ground cumin
1 or 2 teaspoons of hot chilli powder
2 teaspoons of garam masala
1 cinnamon stick
400g tin chopped tomatoes - get good quality ones your curry sauce will not be as nice
250ml full fat coconut milk
about 2 teaspoons of soft brown sugar - you can adjust to taste later
1/2 of a Knorr chicken stock cube dissolved in just 100ml of boiling water
a good handful of cooked turkey
sea salt and black pepper to taste
chopped coriander to serve
Method:
Once you've whizzed up your onions, ginger, garlic and chillies heat up the ghee in a large frying pan and throw in the paste. Cook until it begins to colour up a bit.
Now add the spices and the cinnamon stick and cook for a couple of minutes till your kitchen smells delicious.
Add the tin of tomatoes including the juice, coconut milk, chicken stock and sugar. Add a tiny pinch of salt and a good pinch of black pepper and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 30 minutes.
Have a taste and add the turkey - adjust the seasoning and add more sugar if you think it needs it. Continue to cook for about 5 minutes or until everything is piping hot and remove the cinnamon stick.
Serve straight away topped with chopped coriander and some nice rice. Oh and don't forget the naan bread!

ReplyDeleteI cooked your Left-over Turkey Curry and it was excellent, the best meat curry and the best Left-over Turkey dish I have ever done. Cheers, will look around here some more!
ReplyDeleteBut it didn't look as good as yours, Mine was a bit more of a brown indistinct colour! I did use a lot of spice though! Lovely! Didn't have a proper food processer and used the blender, will try just chopping by hand.
ReplyDeleteHi Ben thanks for your kind words and so pleased you liked this recipe!
