TURKEY AND SPINACH CURRY



Turkey and Spinach Curry image

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 WITH RAISIN RICE



Turkey Curry With Raisin Rice image

I haven't been a huge fan of curries, but I absolutely adored this one from a Diane Mott Davidson book (The Killer Pancake), so now I'm trying out other curries from this site. Since I don't see this great one already posted, I'm adding it for your culinary enjoyment. I didn't make my own stock, I bought a box at the store, but chicken broth would probably work just as well. It's mostly just to add flavor to the rice. The recipe originally listed white rice, but I substituted brown since I rarely use white rice. I bet popcorn rice would also be good. For the New Year's party that I was attending, it was easier to just stir the meat and the rice all together and take it as a casserole rather than serving it as two items, and that worked out just fine. I used skim milk and non-fat dry milk to keep fat content lower, and did not notice any affect on the finished product. I suggest getting the rice started before preparing the curry since it takes a while to cook.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb ground turkey
1 cup apple, chopped unpeeled
1 cup onion, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 tablespoon beef bouillon granules
1/2 cup dry milk
2 cups milk
1 cup rice
1/2 cup raisins
2 1/4 cups chicken stock

Steps:

  • Turkey Curry: Saute the ground turkey until evenly browned. Drain fat and set aside.
  • In a greased or non-stick skillet, saute the apple and onion over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the onion is translucent. Set aside.
  • Reduce heat to low and heat the olive oil. Stir in the flour and curry powder until the flour begins to bubble.
  • Combine the bouillon granules, milk and dry milk; whisk until combined. (The bouillon granules will dissolve when they are heated in the sauce.)
  • Gradually add the milk mixture to the curry mixture, continuing to stir over medium-low heat until the mixture thickens.
  • When the mixture is thick, add the turkey and the apple-onion mixture. Stir well and heat through. Serve over Raisin Rice.
  • Raisin Rice: In a large nonstick skillet, toast 1 cup raw rice over medium heat, stirring frequently, until most of the rice is brown. (Mottled appearance is desirable.)
  • Stir in raisins and chicken stock.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover the pan, and cook for 25 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.

  • Make a flavorful curry sauce: Use a variety of spices and herbs to create a flavorful curry sauce. You can also add vegetables, such as onions, garlic, and ginger, for additional flavor.
  • Serve the turkey curry with rice or bread: Turkey curry is traditionally served with rice, but it can also be served with bread or other side dishes.
