I found this turkey keema curry recipe on the Olive website when searching for another turkey recipe to make, to use up the turkey mince I had left after making turkey enchiladas (you'll find this recipe in the link below).
I love lamb samosas and generally always order them for a starter when I have Indian food, so thought it would be quite interesting to try a similar type of curried mince, but using turkey instead of lamb.
Oh my goodness...this was sooooo good!!!! We both love it...it is so full of flavour from the spices and the heat from the green chillies was perfect for us. I did leave the seeds in so it was quite hot, but all of the ingredients balanced everything together.
I wasn't sure about the tomato salad before I made it...i'm not a huge fan of raw onions, however, the lemon juice softened them slightly and the ginger in it just went so well with both the tomatoes and onion...it was delicious alongside the curry - yum!
Tip
- If you have leftover curry, pop it into an airtight container and freeze. Defrost thoroughly and reheat on the hob.
- This turkey keema curry recipe is easily adapted if you're cooking for less or more people.
