Turkey and Spinach Curry image

With the coconut milk, the preroasted turkey and the fresh spinach, there's plenty of flavor in this little stew. Plenty of ease, too; the whole thing (including the rice you probably want to serve it with, though I could imagine it over leftover stuffing) takes less than a half hour, not much longer than sandwiches.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/8 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
1 cup tomatoes, chopped (canned are fine; include their juice)
1 cup coconut milk
Salt
freshly ground pepper
1/2 pound fresh spinach, trimmed of thick stems, washed and roughly chopped
2 cups leftover turkey, white or dark meat or a combination, roughly chopped
Freshly chopped cilantro for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; add onion, garlic and ginger and cook until they begin to soften, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add cumin, coriander, turmeric and cayenne and cook, stirring, until spices are fragrant, about another minute.
  • Add tomatoes and their juices and coconut milk and sprinkle with salt and pepper; bring mixture to a boil and reduce heat to medium. Simmer for another 8 to 10 minutes, or until tomatoes break down.
  • Add spinach and turkey to pan and continue to cook until spinach wilts and turkey is warmed through, another 3 to 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning, garnish with cilantro and serve.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll stick to simpler curry recipes in the future.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my curry turned out bland. I think I might have added too much coconut milk.

I added some extra vegetables to this dish, such as carrots and peas. It was a great way to get my kids to eat their veggies.

I had some trouble finding turkey mince, so I used chicken mince instead. It turned out great!

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it.

This turkey and spinach curry was a hit with my family! The flavors were rich and complex, and the meat was tender and juicy. I especially loved the creamy coconut milk sauce.
