Turkey Mulligatawny image

My mom loves mulligatawny - a thick curry soup with the unusual addition of apple. I used leftover turkey instead of chicken, and thickened the works with lentils and rice too. A finishing dash of cilantro and lime juice lightens up the flavours.

2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 large Spanish onion, chopped finely
1 large carrot, diced
6 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
1 serrano pepper, stemmed, seeded, and minced
1 tablespoon coriander
1 tablespoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons turmeric
6 cups low sodium chicken broth or 6 cups turkey stock
3 cups water
1 teaspoon dried calendula flowers
1 1/2 cups red lentils
1 cup brown basmati rice
2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
1 (14 ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk, well shaken (lite is fine)
1/4 cup lime juice
2 cups chopped cooked turkey (I used a mix of light and dark)

Steps:

  • Melt oil in a large, heavy bottomed pot (I used a cast iron Dutch oven) over medium heat.
  • Add the onion, carrot, garlic, ginger, and pepper and cook, stirring, until softened and lightly brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the coriander, cumin, cinnamon and turmeric. Cook 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  • Add the broth, water and calendula.
  • Bring mixture to a boil and add the lentils, rice and applesauce.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  • With an immersion blender (or in batches with a standard blender), puree until smooth.
  • Add cilantro, coconut milk, lime juice and turkey meat. Place back over medium heat.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve.
