Turkey Curry in a Hurry (Cook's Illustrated) Recipe - Food.com 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.

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, sliced thin
1/4 cup raisins
2 tablespoons curry powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 medium cloves garlic, minced, about 4 teaspoons
4 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
2 cups vegetables, roasted
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 cup water
10 ounces shredded cooked turkey, about 2 cups
1 cup frozen green pea
1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until just simmering.
  • Add the onion, raisins, curry powder and salt and cook until the onion is softened, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the roasted vegetables, chickpeas, and water and cook, stirring frequently, until heated through, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the turkey and peas and cook until heated through, 2 or 3 minutes longer.
  • Remove from heat, stir in the yogurt and cilantro. Check for salt (to taste) and serve immediately.
