Red Curry Turkey


We cooked a 22 pound turkey for our week after Thanksgiving feast.  So the entire week after I can up with ways to enjoy the turkey but give a new twist.  This is my first attempt in a long time at a coconut milk red curry.  The result was good but as my family likes it super blazing hot I will add even more curry and maybe a touch of chili paste next time.  Great way to reinvent those turkey leftovers!

Ingredients
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 cloves of garlic
8 ounces mini button or sliced mushrooms  
1 onion, coarsely chopped
1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
1 cups broccoli
1/2 cup thinly sliced carrots
8 ounce can of water chestnuts drained
8 ounce can of bamboo drained
Between 1 and 1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless turkey meat cooked, we prefer breast
3 tablespoons curry paste, use this to your taste mix 1 tablespoon at a time
1 tablespoon grated lime zest
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 (14 ounce) can light coconut milk
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Recipe
  1. Heat oil in large skillet or wok over high heat.  
  2. Mix curry paste through coconut milk in a medium bowl with a whisk and set aside.
  3. Add garlic through baby corn and sauté for about 5 minutes until vegetables are not as crisp but are not completely soft.  Stir often.
  4. Pour curry mixture into the pan.  Add turkey.  Bring to a boil and then simmer for 3-5 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and add cilantro.  Stir and then serve over rice.
