Steps:
- Bring a large stock pot of salted water to a boil.
- Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil along with the ground turkey and cook, breaking up the turkey with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Turn the heat to medium low and add the garlic and thyme; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Next, add the flour and stir to coat. If the skillet looks too dry, add 1 to 2 more tablespoons olive oil. Cook, stirring, until it smells nutty, about 2 minutes. Deglaze the skillet with the vermouth or white wine and cook, scraping up the browned bits with the wooden spoon, until the liquid evaporates. Next, add the milk and 1 cup Parmesan, liberally season with salt and pepper then simmer on low heat until the sauce thickens, 8 to 10 minutes.
- At this point drop the pasta into the boiling water and cook per the package directions until al dente.
- Five minutes before the pasta is ready, add the spinach and peas to the sauce and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Taste for seasoning; add more salt and pepper, if necessary. Add the pasta, along with 3/4 to 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, directly to the skillet and stir until the sauce is thick and creamy, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Serve the pasta in shallow bowls, then sprinkle with pepper and extra Parmesan.
TURKEY AND SPINACH CURRY
With the coconut milk, the preroasted turkey and the fresh spinach, there's plenty of flavor in this little stew. Plenty of ease, too; the whole thing (including the rice you probably want to serve it with, though I could imagine it over leftover stuffing) takes less than a half hour, not much longer than sandwiches.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your curry the best flavor. If possible, use fresh spinach, ginger, garlic, and tomatoes. You can also use frozen spinach if fresh is not available.
- Don't Overcook the Turkey: Ground turkey can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it just until it's cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Use a Good Quality Curry Powder: The curry powder is one of the most important ingredients in this dish. Choose a good quality curry powder that has a rich flavor and aroma. You can find good curry powder at most grocery stores.
- Adjust the Heat Level: This recipe calls for medium heat, but you can adjust it to your liking. If you like your curry spicy, add more chili powder or cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder curry, reduce the amount of chili powder or cayenne pepper.
Conclusion:
This ground turkey and spinach curry is a delicious and healthy meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Serve it with rice, naan bread, or your favorite side dish.
