TURKEY WITH CURRIED CREAM SAUCE



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

Categories     Side Dish     Sauces and Condiments Recipes     Sauce Recipes

Time 45m

Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 tablespoon margarine
1 large onion, chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons ground coriander
2 tablespoons ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tomatoes
2 serrano chile peppers, seeded
½ cup fresh cilantro
½ cup yogurt, whisked until smooth
3 cups water

Steps:

  • Heat oil and margarine in a small skillet or wok over medium high heat. Add onion and saute until very brown, 10 to 15 minutes. (Note: This is an important step; if onion is not cooked well, sauce will taste funny.)
  • Add ginger and garlic to onion and saute for an additional 2 minutes. Process onion/ginger/garlic mixture in food processor until smooth. Do not rinse food processor.
  • Place onion mixture in a large saucepan. Stir in the cinnamon, black pepper, coriander, cumin, turmeric and cayenne pepper and cook over low heat until mixture is thick and has the consistency of a paste.
  • Puree tomatoes, chile peppers and cilantro in food processor until smooth. Add to onion mixture and stir well over low heat, cooking off moisture from tomatoes and cilantro. Add yogurt a little bit at a time, stirring constantly to avoid curdling.
  • Blend the whole mixture in food processor to puree it (for a very smooth sauce). Return to saucepan, add water and increase heat to high; bring sauce to a rolling boil. Cover saucepan and boil for 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer until desired consistency is reached.
  • To serve with meat, cook the meat first separately, then simmer for 5 to 10 minutes in the sauce before serving over rice or with bread. To serve with vegetables, steam raw veggies first 4 to 5 minutes, then simmer for 5 to 10 minutes in the sauce before serving.

TURKEY SLICES WITH CURRY CREAM SAUCE



Turkey Slices With Curry Cream Sauce image

This is one I found online... it is a great way to use those turkey tenderloins you can buy now in the stores. I tweaked it a little because it had barely any curry powder or much of any spice at all in it originally so if you want it with less curry flavor, feel free to pare it down some. If you like a lot of sauce as we do here, the sauce part doubles easily.

TURKEY CURRY IN A HURRY (COOK'S ILLUSTRATED)



Turkey Curry in a Hurry (Cook's Illustrated) image

A very good way to use leftover turkey or chicken. CI recommends using only whole milk yogurt (not low- or non-fat), as the sauce otherwise will be thin and can have an off flavor. I often have left-over roasted veggies, or will use a combo of sweet and white potatoes, cauliflower, squash, red onions. I serve this with rice or couscous, and sometimes add dried cranberries instead of raisins - I doubt that's Indian, but it works together well. Time does not include time to roast veggies, if you have none handy.

Tips for a perfect Turkey in Curry Sauce:

  • Choose the right cut of turkey. For this dish, a bone-in, skin-on turkey breast or thigh is ideal. The bones and skin will add flavor to the sauce.
  • Don't overcook the turkey. Overcooked turkey is dry and tough. Cook the turkey until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a flavorful curry paste. The curry paste is what gives this dish its flavor, so choose one that you like. You can find curry paste at most grocery stores or online.
  • Add your own vegetables. This recipe calls for onions and bell peppers, but you can add any vegetables that you like. Some other good options include carrots, celery, and peas.
  • Serve with your favorite sides. Turkey in curry sauce is delicious served with rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Turkey in curry sauce 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 after Thanksgiving. With its flavorful curry sauce and tender turkey, this dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
