GROUND TURKEY, SWEET POTATO & PEA CURRY
This recipe was somewhat inspired by Banriona's Recipe #408979, which I thought was a great Americanized twist on a classic Lebanese recipe. In the same vein, this is like a flavorful Indian curry crossed with a traditional stew. No rice or naan needed, as it's very filling. Perfect for a cold winter night!

TURKEY CURRY BURGERS
Due to my dietary requirements I am always on the lookout for healthy and low fat twists on the fatty meals I used to enjoy. We like burgers and we like curries and so that was the inspiration for this healthier turkey curry burger. I serve them on buns with a bit of crisp lettuce and an extra teaspoon of the chutney spread over the each burger.

Steps:
- Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl with your hands until well combined.
- Put into the fridge for about 10 minutes to allow the mixture to firm up a bit.
- Take out of the fridge and form into four equal sized patties.
- Fry the burgers as you would any other burger for about 5 minutes each side or until cooked through. (I do mine on my Foreman Grill brushed very lightly with some canola oil to save me having to fry them and add extra fats).
- Put on buns and top with your choice of toppings (I go simply with crisp lettuce and a bit of extra mango chutney) and serve.
TURKEY SLICES WITH CURRY CREAM SAUCE
This is one I found online... it is a great way to use those turkey tenderloins you can buy now in the stores. I tweaked it a little because it had barely any curry powder or much of any spice at all in it originally so if you want it with less curry flavor, feel free to pare it down some. If you like a lot of sauce as we do here, the sauce part doubles easily.

TURKEY CURRY IN A HURRY (COOK'S ILLUSTRATED)
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.
