Turkey Curry in a hurry

This curry turkey cooks up in a hurry! It’s bright and zippy with fresh carrots, mushrooms and bright green beans. The turkey cooks quickly in a light, coconut creamy sauce sparked with curry. Ready in less than 30 minutes. Serve it on a bed of barley and the meal is loaded with nutrients, protein and fiber. Leftovers, if there are any, taste great the next day.

Equipment

  • Large saute pan
  • Small pot with lid

Ingredients

  • 1 small onion
  • 2 medium carrots
  • 8 ounces mixed mushrooms
  • 2 lbs ground turkey
  • 1 tbsp ginger
  • 1 1/2 tbsp curry spice (see back)
  • 6 ounces coconut milk
  • 12 oz green beans
  • 1/2 lemon juice
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • oil
  • salt
  • pepper

Instructions

  • Dice onion and carrots into ½ inch pieces. Slice the mushrooms about ½ inch thick. Remove ends from green beans and cut into 1"pieces.
  • In a saute pan over medium-high heat, heat a drizzle of the oil. Add the onions, carrots, and mushrooms and saute for 3 to 5 minutes or until the mushrooms become tender. Push the vegetables to the side of the pan and add the turkey, breaking up, until no longer pink and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the ginger and curry spices. Cook, stirring another minute.
  • Stir in the coconut milk, scraping any browned bits that stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • Stir in green beans, partially cover the pan, and continue cooking about 3 minutes or until the green beans are just cooked through. Remove the lid and cook until sauce thickens, about 2 to 3 minutes more.
  • Add lemon juice, soy sauce, and pepper to taste.
  • Serve warm over barley (see back). Enjoy!
