Okay, so this dish doesn’t have to be made from leftovers. But it’s Christmas so we’re getting into the spirit of things, and know it is handy to have some inspiration as to what to do with all that excess food! This curry is ‘spiced’ not spicy. If you want to keep things friendly, minus the chilli in the garnish.
Festivities aside this is a great and easy dish. Turkey is a great lean meat but high in protein at the same time. Remember to always source free-range meat.
You can serve this on its own, or with a dollop of Greek yoghurt and some brown basmati rice depending on how hungry the crowd is!
