Sally Bee's healthy turkey korma
She's given us honey-roasted squash risotto, and the healthiest ever lasagne, and now Sally Bee is tackling that most sinful of dinners - the curry! Mixing things up a bit, she's using turkey to create a variation on the traditional chicken curry. Fancy giving it a try?
Serves: 2
RecipeQuinoa, to serve2 lean small turkey breast fillets or 1 large fillet, chopped into cubes1 onion, peeled and chopped 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil1 tbsp curry powder (strength dependent on how hot you like it!)1 tbsp ground almonds1 tbsp tomato purée4 tbsp low-fat crème fraîche1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed 1 small handful of whole almonds
Method
Cook the quinoa following the packet instructions. You'll know its cooked when the little side bits unravel and open out. It usually takes around 10 minutes
Meanwhile, using a non-stick saucepan set over a medium heat, fry the turkey and onion for 4-5 minutes in the olive oil
Next, add the curry powder and stir well, letting the strong aromas release in the heat of the pan
Now add 4 tablespoons water, the ground almonds and tomato purée and last of all the crème fraîche. Let this mixture simmer away for 5-10 minutes, ensuring that the turkey is cooked right through. Add a little extra water if it becomes too thick
Serve on a bed of the cooked quinoa with a few whole almonds scattered on top
Sally's tip: Indian food goes brilliantly with salad, so always serve a huge salad on the side and eat less of the bread!
