Serves: 4 servings + a ton of leftover sauce!
Ingredients
- 4 servings leftover turkey (or chicken, or whatever protein you like!)
- 2 cups mashed sweet potato (about 2 medium sweet potatoes)*
- 1.5 cups coconut milk (plus more to thin out, if needed.)
- 1.5 tablespoons Trader Joe’s Exotic Curry Powder (sub: your favorite curry powder)
- 1 tsp minced garlic*
- ½ tsp minced ginger*
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
For serving:
- Oven roasted cauliflower rice
- Chopped cilantro or parsley, for garnish
Directions
- Place the mashed sweet potato in a medium sized saucepan. Add the coconut milk, curry powder, garlic and ginger (if using), and sea salt.
- Use an immersion blender the blend all the ingredients together in the pot.
- Heat on low for about 5 minutes, then add the leftover turkey and cook until the turkey is warm, about another 5 minutes.
- Serve with oven roasted cauliflower rice and chopped cilantro or parsley. Devour!
Notes
*Add the ginger and garlic only if your curry powder blend doesn’t have them in it already.
**You could also substitute leftover sweet potato casserole here, any baked winter squash, or even leftover carrot soufflé!
- For the coconut milk, you can either use full fat or a combination of full fat coconut milk and light coconut milk. You can als substitute almond milk here, but the curry will have a thinner consistency. Start with 1 cup, and add more as needed.
