- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1.5 tbsp curry powder
- 0.5 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 14.5 oz diced tomatoes with juices
- 12 fl oz unsweetened coconut milk
- 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 0.75 cup frozen peas
- 2 cup baby spinach
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 tsp crushed red pepper flakes optional
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Warm the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 4 minutes.
- Stir in garlic and ginger; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add ground turkey, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking it up, until browned, 5–6 minutes.
- Sprinkle in curry powder, cumin, paprika, and red pepper flakes if using. Toast 30 seconds.
- Stir in tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
- Pour in diced tomatoes, coconut milk, and broth. Scrape up browned bits from the pan.
- Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 8–10 minutes.
- Fold in peas and spinach; cook until peas are hot and spinach wilts, about 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Stir in lime juice and cilantro; taste and adjust seasoning.
Notes
Swap peas for drained chickpeas, or add diced sweet potato with the tomatoes for a heartier curry. Serve over basmati rice or spoon into bowls with warm naan. Leftovers keep well in the fridge up to 4 days and freeze up to 2 months.
