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.

This was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.

This was a great recipe! I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of turkey and it was still delicious.
