Gluten Free Turkey Curry Recipe

Gluten Free Turkey Curry Recipe

Chances are you might find yourself with a bit of leftover turkey right about now. And even though there is nothing wrong with gluten free turkey sandwiches, I’m betting you might be in the mood for some other way to use that turkey. Try this gluten free turkey curry recipe.

This recipe is a sort of African curry, based on chicken groundnut stew. Groundnuts are peanuts. In Africa, the peanuts used in peanut butter are roasted more intensely than our traditional peanut butter, so I use Sunbutter in this recipe, which has a rich, roasted flavor. It also has the advantage of being nut-free.

This recipe is pretty adaptable. I used leftover turkey in this recipe but you can also use leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken (just make sure your rotisserie chicken is gluten free). I also used a whole, uncooked sweet potato but if you have leftover sweet potatoes from Thanksgiving, just cut up the equivalent of a large one and toss it in with the chicken. You can use any kind of green vegetable you like; I happened to have baby spinach on hand so that’s what I used.

I like this curry served over hot rice.
