This recipe is almost identical to my butter chicken curry recipe. It delivers a rich, silky curry sauce enriched by the butter and cream. It is the ultimate easy comfort food and a great way to use up leftover turkey. Not only does it come together in less than 20 minutes, it’s a great way to stretch leftover cooked meat to feed a family when served with delicious side dishes.
Ingredients Needed
Leftover cooked turkey. For a traditional roast, use our Garlic Herb Roast Turkey recipe. We also love our Spatchcock Turkey recipe. Butter. Onion. Fresh garlic. Fresh ginger. Spices: I prefer using a combination of Garam Masala, paprika, cardamom and coriander. You can however use any curry powder/blend that you have or like. Tomatoes. I used tomato puree (not paste). Passata can also work. Chopped tomatoes are also fine but I prefer the rich, smoothness the puree adds. Chicken stock. Cream. Heavy / Whipping. Sugar. Optional, but I like the way it mellows the acidity of the tomatoes. Salt and pepper.

What to serve with turkey curry
As with all curries, steamed rice is the best accompaniment for this butter turkey curry recipe. I also love adding fluffy naan bread or roti. Poppadums add great texture. A zippy cucumber salad adds some freshness and crunch.
