Ingredients

• 500 grams cooked turkey (shredded or chopped)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 onion (finely chopped)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 tomatoes (diced)
• 400 milliliters coconut milk
• 200 milliliters chicken stock
• 2 tablespoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
• 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 300 grams basmati rice (optional, for serving)
• 2 naan bread (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and golden, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, and chili powder. Stir continuously for 30 seconds to toast the spices and release their aroma.

Step 5

Add the diced tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they break down and form a thick base.

Step 6

Pour in the coconut milk and chicken stock, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Add the cooked turkey to the pan, stirring to coat it in the sauce. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and let the curry simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the turkey to absorb the spices.

Step 9

Stir in the fresh cilantro and lemon juice just before serving. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Serve hot with steamed basmati rice or warm naan bread, and garnish with additional chopped cilantro if desired.
