Deliciousness

This is one of my favorite things to make as of late. The recipe is made up based on my best guess of the contents of this chicken cart at 40th street and 7th avenue. Well, with ground turkey substituted.

PS- it's really good for those seeking a low-sodium diet.

Turkey Curry a la Schn@pp

Ingredients
1 pound of ground turkey (or cubed soft tofu for you veggies out there)
1 cup white rice uncooked (2 1/2 cups cooked)
2 large tomatoes, diced
1 large green pepper, diced
1 white onion, diced
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup water
mild curry
cumin
olive oil
salt
2 cloves garlic, crushed (optional)
2 carrots, cubed (optional)

Instructions
1. Cook the rice, preferably in a rice cooker

2. Add olive oil to a 2-qt saucepan (enough to cover the bottom), add a dash of salt make sure it doesn't burn. Brown the turkey (or tofu) in the saucepan on high heat.

3. Once turkey is cooked, reduce heat add 1/4 cup of water, and cumin & curry to taste (I usually add about 2 heaping tablespoons of curry and 1 of cumin). Stir well.

4. Turn heat back up and cover saucepan until mixture reaches a simmer.

5. Add peppers and onions, and, if desired, the carrots or garlic. Mix well and recover saucepan.

6. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until peppers and onions are soft. Add tomatoes. Mix well and then simmer for 1 minute.

7. Remove saucepan from heat. In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, turkey mixture, and raisins. Mix well.

8. Serve with plain yogurt or tofu sour cream as a topping.
