Turkey Tikka Masala image

This twist on the Punjabi-style curry gives a new life to leftover turkey. The turkey is marinated overnight in yogurt, turmeric, garam masala and garlic paste, imparting deep flavors and moisture. Tomatoes and cream add warmth, while serrano peppers give the tikka masala its kick. Serve it alongside steamed basmati rice for a deeply satisfying meal.

Categories     curries, main course

Time 2h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

2 teaspoons garam masala
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon paprika
4 teaspoons ground turmeric
1 teaspoon kosher salt
6 cloves garlic, finely grated or pounded in a mortar and pestle
4 teaspoons finely grated fresh ginger
1 cup whole-milk yogurt
4 cups cooked turkey (about 1 pound), cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
4 tablespoons ghee or neutral-tasting oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
6 cardamom pods, crushed
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons finely grated fresh ginger
4 cloves garlic, finely grated or pounded in a mortar and pestle
2 serrano peppers, finely chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
2 cups heavy cream
3/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro, plus a few sprigs for garnish
Juice of 1 small lemon
Steamed basmati rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the marinade: In a medium bowl, stir together garam masala, coriander, cumin, paprika, turmeric, kosher salt, garlic, ginger and yogurt. Fold in the turkey. Cover and chill for 4 hours or overnight.
  • Make the masala: On the stove top, heat a Dutch oven or similar pot over medium-high heat. Add 3 tablespoons ghee or neutral oil, then add onion, cardamom, bay leaf, paprika, pepper flakes (if using), garam masala and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are brown and tender, 10 to 15 minutes, adjusting temperature as needed so the onion doesn't burn.
  • Make space among onions in center of pot, and add 1 tablespoon ghee or neutral oil. When ghee has melted or oil begins to shimmer, add ginger, garlic and serrano peppers, and sizzle for about 10 seconds. Combine that mixture with the spiced onions. Stir in tomato paste. Add tomatoes and their juices, crushing them with your hands as you add them. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, until the liquid is almost gone, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add cream and chopped cilantro to the pot. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, then taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens, about 40 minutes. Discard bay leaf.
  • In the meantime, line a baking sheet with foil, turn on oven broiler, and arrange an oven rack about 6 inches from broiling unit. Lay the marinated turkey on the foil in a single layer. Stir any remaining marinade into the sauce. Broil until turkey begins to blacken in spots, 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside.
  • Use a hand-held blender (or blender) to purée the sauce, then add turkey and return the sauce to a simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until just warmed through. Just before serving, stir in lemon juice. Taste and adjust salt as needed.
  • To serve, garnish with cilantro sprigs. Serve hot, with steamed basmati rice. Cover and refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.

TURKEY CURRY IN A HURRY (COOK'S ILLUSTRATED)



Turkey Curry in a Hurry (Cook's Illustrated) image

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.

TURKEY SLICES WITH CURRY CREAM SAUCE



Turkey Slices With Curry Cream Sauce image

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.

Categories     Garlic     Herb     Onion     turkey     Appetizer     Broil     Cocktail Party     Yogurt     Engagement Party     Party     Bon Appétit     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup mayonnaise, divided
6 1/4 teaspoons curry powder, divided
1 1/2 tablespoons plain yogurt
1 1/2 tablespoons ketchup
1 garlic clove, minced
2 pounds ground turkey
6 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup minced green onions
2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger
2 teaspoons ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon hot chili powder or Hungarian hot paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
12 small dinner rolls, cut horizontally in half, lightly toasted

Steps:

  • Mix 3/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 1/4 teaspoons curry powder, and next 3 ingredients in small bowl for sauce. Let stand at room temperature while preparing sliders.
  • Place turkey, next 6 ingredients, remaining 1/4 cup mayonnaise, and 4 teaspoons curry powder in large bowl. Mix with fork or hands just until blended (do not overmix). Divide mixture into 12 equal portions. Using wet hands, form each portion into patty about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Preheat broiler or heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. If broiling patties, brush rimmed baking sheet with 1 tablespoon oil and arrange patties on sheet. Broil (or cover patties in skillet and cook in batches) until cooked through, pressing patties down lightly with spatula before turning over, about 3 minutes per side (or 4 minutes per side if cooking in skillet).
  • Place patties on bottom halves of rolls. Top each patty with sauce. Cover with roll tops. Place 3 sliders on each of 4 plates and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a turkey breast or thigh: These cuts are more tender and flavorful than the whole turkey.
  • Sear the turkey before cooking: This will help to lock in the juices and create a delicious browned crust.
  • Use a flavorful curry sauce: There are many different curry sauce recipes available, so choose one that you like the taste of.
  • Simmer the turkey in the curry sauce for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and the turkey to become tender.
  • Serve the turkey with rice or naan bread: These are traditional accompaniments to curry dishes.

Conclusion:

Turkey in curry sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The turkey is tender and flavorful, and the curry sauce is rich and creamy. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
