TURKEY CURRY IN A HURRY (COOK'S ILLUSTRATED)
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.

CURRIED TURKEY LEGS
Adopted! I was born and raised in a small village where most of the residesnt depended on their farm animals for their livelyhood. Our meat was mainly pork and chicken with an occasional pound of hamburger boutht at the butcher shop. Young calves were seldom eaten. The were shipped to market for cash. In those days, a young calf would bring about $75 which would buy a lot of school shoes. When I left home and started to work, I ate mainly in restaurants. I soon loved to enjoy the taste of lamb. In later years I was dining in a restaurant in North Africa, when a diner near me who had just ordered leg of lamb queried the waiter, "Did you know that if you fixed a turkey leg in this manner that it would taste just leg of lamb?" "Yes," the waiter replied, "That's what that is." When I was able to find two turkey legs in the bazaar, I bought them and took them back to my apartment and cooked them basically like this recipe. He was right they did taste just like curried log of lamb and at about a quarter of the price. I have been eating them ever since. I am happy to post this recipe because I know every who likes lamb will enjoy it immensely.

Steps:
- Slice the turkey breast, lengthwise, into 4 roughly equal scaloppines. Place them between sheets of plastic wrap and pound them until they are as thin as possible without breaking.
- In a saute pan heat 2 tablespoons of oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high flame and cook the apples and onion for 5 minutes. Add the coriander and parsley and cook 3 more minutes.
- Place 2 tablespoons of the stuffing on each turkey scaloppine. Fold up the filets as if you were wrapping a package, overlapping the edges. Tie them with kitchen thread.
- In a wide, deep saucepan or casserole, heat remaining butter and oil over high heat. Sear the meat on all sides. Remove meat, lower flame to medium and add carrots, celery and onion. Saute vegetables until light brown but not burned. Pour in chicken stock and wine and deglaze the pan, scraping up particles with a wooden spoon.
- Add the meat, bring to boil, reduce to simmer and cook, covered, for 25 minutes.
- Remove meat from pan, cut off thread. Reduce cooking liquid by half. Strain and return to heat. Add cream and curry and reduce by two-thirds while stirring constantly. Adjust seasoning if desired. Pour over meat.
