Leftover Turkey Curry recipe by Cherrypick

👋 There is cooked chicken as an optional ingredient in this recipe as we assume you have cooked turkey in the fridge; if you don't, go ahead and purchase the cooked chicken, or try paneer as a veggie alternative. Crave spice after the traditional Christmas lunch? Want to turn your leftover turkey into a whole new dish? This tasty turkey tikka masala is for you.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Heat the oil in a casserole dish or shallow pan over a medium heat, and fry the onions for 10-12 mins until golden. Stir in the garlic, ginger, chilli and all the spices, and cook for 2 mins more until the mixture resembles a paste. Stir in the tomato purée, passata or chopped tomatoes and mango chutney, and bring to a simmer. Cook for a further 10 mins.

Step 2

Stir in most of the cream and the yoghurt, and return the mixture to a simmer. Add the shredded turkey (or chicken) and continue to simmer until the turkey is piping hot. Remove from the heat, drizzle over the remaining cream and stir through briefly. Scatter over some coriander and flaked almonds, and serve with the rice and naan breads on the side.
