Turkey with Curried Cream Sauce image

Give plain old turkey a brand-new spin with classic Indian spices. My version's pretty mild, but if you're in the mood for fire, add extra curry and a shake or two of cayenne pepper. This dish disappears fast, no matter who's at the table. -Lori Lockrey, Scarborough, Ontario

Number Of Ingredients 14

1-1½ tsp coconut oil (we used Fushi) or sunflower oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 fat garlic cloves, crushed

  • Add the chicken and cook for 10 mins over a gentle heat, flipping occasionally and making sure the spices don't catch. Pour in around 300 ml boiling water until almost covering. Stir in the stock cube and cinnamon stick. Simmer for around 45 mins - 1 hour with the lid off so there is a small amount of thickened sauce at the bottom of the pan. Remove the cinnamon stick.

TURKEY CURRY PATTIES



Turkey curry patties image

Use up your leftover Christmas turkey in these moreish turkey curry patties. They're perfect for the days after the big meal, or you can freeze them for later

Provided by Melissa Thompson - Journalist and food writer

Categories     Lunch

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 large tomato, chopped
3 thyme sprigs
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 scotch bonnet chilli, chopped (optional)
2½cm piece of ginger, peeled and grated
1 tsp ground turmeric
2 tsp each ground coriander
2 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground allspice
300g leftover roast turkey, chopped
350ml turkey or chicken stock
600g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
4 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp mild curry powder
1 tsp sugar
300g cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
100g vegetable shortening, grated (or use very cold butter)
2 large eggs
1 tsp white wine vinegar
splash of milk

Steps:

  • First, make the pastry. Combine the flour, spices, sugar and 1 tsp salt. Rub in the butter and shortening with your fingers until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Whisk 1 egg and the vinegar together, then tip into the flour mixture. Bring together into a dough using your hands, adding 3-6 tbsp water if needed until just pliable. Knead for 3-5 mins, then cover and chill for 30 mins. Remove from the fridge 30 mins before you're ready to use.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a pan and fry the onion over a medium heat for 10 mins until softened. Add the tomato, thyme, garlic, chilli, if using, and ginger. Fry for a further 3 mins. Mix all the spices with a few tablespoons of water, then add to the pan. Fry for another 5 mins until the water evaporates and the spices are fragrant.
  • Add the turkey and fry for 5 mins. Pour in the stock, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 mins until most of the liquid has reduced. Remove from the heat and leave to cool completely. Chill until ready to use. Will keep chilled for up to 24 hrs.
  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 6. Roll the chilled pastry out on a floured surface or sheet of baking parchment (this helps prevent the turmeric from staining the surface) to a 4mm thickness. If it starts to crack, press small pieces of the pastry into the gaps to fill. Using a 15cm-diameter bowl as a template, cut out as many circles of pastry as you can, then re-roll the offcuts and repeat until all the pastry has been used. You should end up with about 10 circles. Transfer to a baking tray lined with baking parchment.
  • Working with one pastry circle at a time, spoon 2 tbsp of the turkey curry filling onto one side of the circle, leaving a 2cm border. Beat the remaining egg with the milk and brush onto the border. Fold one half of the pastry over the other to form a semicircle and enclose the filling. Press the edges together, seal with a fork and prick the top all over.
  • Bake for 20-25 mins, or until the pastry is firm. Leave to cool slightly and serve. After cooling completely, will keep in the freezer for up to three months.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. This will give your curry the best flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. There are many different spices that can be used in a curry, so feel free to try different combinations until you find one that you like.
  • Be careful not to overcook the turkey. Turkey can easily become dry and tough if it is overcooked. Cook it just until it is cooked through, about 15 minutes per pound.
  • Serve the curry with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for curry include rice, naan bread, and yogurt.

Conclusion:

Mild curry turkey is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover turkey. With a little bit of planning, you can have a delicious and satisfying curry on the table in no time.
