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.

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.

CURRY IN A HURRY
This is such a favourite fallback of mine, I would never be without the staples I need to make it: coconut milk and green curry paste in the cupboard; various packages of green vegetables in the freezer. Of course, there are the other bits and pieces, too, but these are the main ones. The chicken thigh fillets I buy as and when I need them. If you want to make this with fresh vegetables rather than frozen, then up the water (keeping the amount of stock concentrate the same) and indeed I would double it to 2 cups. But if using frozen, I find it easier to use a cappuccino cup, or some such, and just measure out 1 1/2 cups of each frozen green veg rather than weigh. The chicken, anyway, comes in packets, so it just keeps everything easy and straightforward.This is what to cook when you find out mid afternoon that you've somehow acquired 6 people for dinner.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan, one that owns a lid, and drop in the scallions. Cook, stirring for a minute or 2, and then add the curry paste.
- Add the chicken pieces and keep turning over heat for 2 minutes, before adding the coconut milk, stock (or rather water and stock concentrate or cube) and fish sauce and then the frozen peas and soya beans.
- Simmer for 10 minutes then add the frozen fine beans and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes.
- Serve with rice or noodles, as wished, sprinkling over the coriander/cilantro as you do so. Put out a plate of lime wedges for people to squeeze over as they eat.
CURRY TURKEY STIR-FRY
Just open the fridge and go to town making this throw-together curry. We prefer turkey, but if you like chicken, shrimp, even bean sprouts and carrots, by all means, add them. -Lauren Rush, Clark, New Jersey

BRIDGET JONES'S TURKEY BUFFET CURRY IN A HURRY!
This is another one of my daughter's student recipes! She made it up one evening, when deciding what to have for supper, based on her fridge and storecupboard contents!! She has cooked it for us at home, and now I have decided to post it on Zaar, as it is such an easy and inexpensive recipe! Obviously home-made curry powder is always best - but any good quality curry powder will do; this is a curry in a hurry, and aptly named in honour of Bridget Jones's Turkey Curry Buffet, the annual event that she is forced to attend at her parent's house every New Year's Day! Have fun and enjoy!
