Description
A flavorful ground turkey curry cooked with Thai red curry paste and coconut milk.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 T peanut oil, divided (see notes)
- 1 1/2 lbs. ground turkey
- 1 onion, cut into slivers
- 4 T Thai Red Curry Paste (more or less to taste)
- 1 13 oz. can unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 large red bell pepper, seeds removed and cut into strips
- 2 medium zucchini, cut into half-moon slices
- 16 oz. frozen cauliflower rice, thawed
- 1 bunch cilantro, chopped (see notes)
- 1–2 T fresh-squeezed lime juice
- fresh lime pieces to squeeze on at the table (optional)
Instructions
- Take 16 oz. cauliflower rice out of the freezer and let it thaw on the counter.
- Heat one tablespoon oil, add the ground turkey and cook over medium-high heat, breaking turkey apart as it cooks. Turkey takes at least five minutes to release water and then brown, don’t rush that step.
- Cut up onion into slivers while the turkey browns.
- Remove browned turkey to a plate and wipe out pan.
- Heat the other tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat, add onion, and cook about 3 minutes.
- Add curry paste and cook one minute.
- Then add coconut milk and chicken broth and heat over medium heat while you cut up the red bell pepper and zucchini.
- Add zucchini and red pepper strips to the coconut milk mixture and cook over medium heat about 3 minutes.
- Add thawed cauliflower rice and cook about 6-8 minutes, or until it’s cooked through.
- Add the browned turkey and any juice that has accumulated on the plate and stir to gently combine.
- Cook another 2-3 minutes, just until the turkey is completely heated through.
- Stir in chopped cilantro and lime juice.
- Serve hot. The Ground Turkey Curry will keep in the refrigerator for a day or two and it reheats very well in a pan on the stove over low heat.
Notes
- Adjust curry paste to your taste preference.
- Cilantro can be substituted with green onion if desired.
