Ingredients

  • 2 lbs turkey breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder

  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the ground turmeric, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, and curry powder. Cook for another minute, allowing the spices to bloom.
  4. Add the turkey pieces, coating them in the spicy mixture, and cook until they are browned on all sides.
  5. Pour in the coconut milk, diced tomatoes, and chicken broth. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and let the curry simmer for about 30 minutes, until the turkey is cooked through and the sauce has thickened to a rich, velvety consistency.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.

Helpful Tips

  • Make it Spicy: If you love a bit of heat, add a chopped fresh chili or a teaspoon of chili powder.
  • Vegetarian Variation: Substitute turkey with chickpeas and vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and peas for a hearty vegetarian curry.
  • Storage Instructions: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or microwave before serving.
  • Ingredient Substitutions: If you don’t have turkey, this curry works wonderfully with chicken or even tofu for a plant-based option.

Pairings

  • Serve the Turkey Curry with warm, fluffy naan bread or steamed basmati rice to soak up the delicious sauce.
  • A side of cucumber raita or fresh salad will complement the rich flavors and add a refreshing contrast.
  • For a complete meal, pair it with a glass of chilled mango lassi or a robust Indian chai tea.
