  • In a small bowl, mix the tomato puree with the remaining oil, cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, garam masala and salt to form a thick paste. Tip the paste into the onion mixture and fry for half a minute.
  • Stir in the turkey pieces and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add 1 1/2 cups of hot water from the kettle and simmer for 3-4 minutes. Mix in the ginger (if using) and the lemon juice.

  1. Great way to use up leftover turkey, or even chicken or pork. Great flavor and easy to make. I did find the sauce to be a bit thin, though, and would cut down the amount of water used. Made for My 3 Chefs game.
     
  2. This was very good. Made as recipe stated. Would maybe spice it up a bit next time and would like more sauce.
     
  3. I did use chicken, and it wasn't left over, I just sauteed it before getting on with the rest of the recipe! I added chopped tomatoes to this, since we enjoy tomatoes in our curry. Good flavour, easily done, we enjoyed it, and I should have made more, to enjoy the next day!!! Thank you English Rose, a good recipe! Made for I Recommend tag game.
