SWEET AND SPICY CURRY WITH CHICKPEAS

Sweet and Spicy Curry with Chickpeas image

One of my clients gave me a shorter version of this recipe before I left work for the day. Added a couple of things to it and loved it. Thanks a lot, Laurie. You were right -- good meal! This sauce goes well with rice or with pita bread. What's great about this recipe is you can add as much spice as you would like.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 pounds ground turkey thigh meat
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, pressed

1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons curry powder
½ cup bottled sweet chili sauce
½ cup coconut milk
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

Heat the sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook the turkey with onion and garlic in the oil until the meat is no longer pink, 10 to 15 minutes. Chop the meat up into crumbles as it cooks.

Season with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.
