Butter Turkey - originally posted May 16, 2010

Butter Turkey doesn't sound right. It sounds like turkey and butter. Everyone knows the famous Indian dish; Butter Chicken and they know it's not just butter and chicken, but...well. So I had a turkey breast and I wanted to try this recipe. Of course if you want to use chicken, go ahead.

Coconut Turkey on Rice

I just love when this happens! My friend went to Bali recently and brought me some saffron! I could hardly wait to try it, but I didn't have time to go shopping, so I poked my head in my freezer and found a half a can of coconut milk and a turkey breast fillet. I also happened to have a small butternut squash kicking around.

Turkey Stir Fry

I've been holding out on you.

I actually made this over a week ago. After I made it I decided not to post it because it's not much of a recipe. But when I saw the pictures I changed my mind.

I sliced up half of a turkey breast and one red bell pepper.

I sauteed the turkey breast until it was almost done, threw in the peppers and a handful of snow peas.
After I tossed it around in the pan for a while I put some peanut sauce in. I have a recipe for peanut sauce on my blog on a separate page. If I knew how to put a link here I would. :) I have used the president's choice peanut sauce and quite like it if you don't want to make your own, but it's really easy.
While all that was happening I made some rice, threw the stirfry on top and voila; dinner in less than half an hour.

Delicious, easy, nutritious!

This is delicious and will feed probably about 4 people.

(note; this is waaaaay better the next day)

2/3 c low fat or fat free plain yogurt
1/2 c. ground almonds
1 1/2 tsp chili powder
3 bay leaves, crushed
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp garam masala
4 green cardamom pods
1 tsp fresh ginger pulp
2 cloves of garlic, minced
(please don't think I actually measure the spices)
1 kg. boneless skinless turkey breast, cut in bite sized pieces

Stir all together in a glass bowl and let it hang out in the fridge for a couple of hours.

Add 2 cups canned tomatoes to the bowl of turkey and other stuff.

1 tsp butter
1 tsp canola oil
1 onion, diced

Saute the onion in the butter and oil until the onions are clear, then add the turkey mixture and let it simmer about 10 minutes or until the turkey is cooked.

Add 4 Tbsp half & half cream and a handful of chopped cilantro and give it a good stir.

Garnish with more chopped cilantro and over some basmati rice.
