GROUND TURKEY, SWEET POTATO & PEA CURRY



Ground Turkey, Sweet Potato & Pea Curry image

This recipe was somewhat inspired by Banriona's Recipe #408979, which I thought was a great Americanized twist on a classic Lebanese recipe. In the same vein, this is like a flavorful Indian curry crossed with a traditional stew. No rice or naan needed, as it's very filling. Perfect for a cold winter night!

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven: This will give you plenty of room to cook the turkey and vegetables without overcrowding them.
  • Brown the turkey thoroughly: This will help to develop flavor and prevent the turkey from being dry.
  • Don't be afraid to add spices: Curry is a great way to add flavor to your food, so don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. Some good options include cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala.
  • Use canned coconut milk: Canned coconut milk is a great way to add a creamy texture and rich flavor to your curry. Be sure to use full-fat coconut milk for the best results.
  • Serve with rice or naan: Curry is traditionally served with rice or naan. Rice is a good option if you're looking for a more filling meal, while naan is a good option if you're looking for something lighter.

Conclusion:

This ground turkey sweet potato pea curry is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this curry a try. You won't be disappointed!
