Quick Turkey Curry
I adapted this recipe from the July 2009 issue of Prevention magazine. Their version called for ground lamb, which the grocery store I stopped in on the way home doesn't carry. Ground turkey worked wonderfully. I added a bit of ginger and hot pepper sauce for extra spice.
Very tasty and only takes about 15 minutes to put together.
The Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground turkey
- 5 tsp. curry powder
- ~1 tbsp. minced fresh ginger
- 1 tbsp. or to taste shatta hot pepper sauce (shatta is a middle eastern hot pepper sauce - you could substitute the hot sauce of your choice, or red pepper flakes
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 15 oz. container fresh marinara sauce (from the fresh pasta case)
- 1 6 oz. bag baby spinach
The Steps
- In a large skillet or saute pan, heat a tiny bit of oil and saute the ginger for about 30 seconds to a minute.
- Add the turkey, curry powder, and hot pepper sauce. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until the turkey is cooked through.
- Add the water, marinara sauce, and spinach. Stir the spinach carefully into the mixture until it starts to wilt down.
- Simmer for 5 minutes. Serve with rice or naan or whole wheat pita.
Makes 4 servings.
