Curried Ground Turkey With Potatoes Recipe

ingredients

4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound ground turkey (thigh meat if you can get it)
1 chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 chopped fresh red chili pepper (optional, to taste)
1 piece (1-inch size) peeled ginger, grated fine
1/2 cup water
salt, to taste
1 tablespoon garam masala or curry powder
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 large Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
3 Roma or other plum tomatoes, diced
1 cup fresh or frozen peas
1/2 cup chopped cilantro or parsley (loosely packed)

directions

Heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a large pot with a lid. When the oil is hot, add the ground meat, spreading it out over the pan. Try not to crowd the meat (you may need to cook in batches). Cook the meat without stirring, until it begins to brown.

Add the chopped onion and chili. Stir and saute for 4-5 minutes or until the onion begins to color a bit. Sprinkle salt over everything.

Add the grated ginger and garlic. Mix well and saute for another 1-2 minutes.

Mix in the spices, water, and the potatoes. Stir to combine and cover. Turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

When the potatoes are tender, add the diced tomatoes and peas. Mix well and cover the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Add salt if needed, to taste.

Right before you serve, mix in the chopped cilantro. Serve alone or with flatbread or white rice.

cook's notes

You can easily substitute ground chicken, beef or lamb for the ground turkey. The "curry" part of this recipe is flexible. Use your favorite curry powder, garam masala, or Indian spice mix.
