Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, sliced thin
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 2 Tbs curry powder
  • Table salt
  • 4 medium cloves garlic, minced or pressed through a garlic press (about 4 teaspoons)
  • 4 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cups vegetables, roasted
  • 1 15oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup water
  • 10 oz shredded cooked turkey (about 2 cups)
  • 1 cup frozen green peas
  • 1 cup plain whole milk yogurt
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro leaves

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until just shimmering. Add the onion, raisins, curry powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until the onion is softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  2. Stir in the roasted vegetables, chickpeas, and water and cook, stirring frequently, until heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir in the turkey and peas and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes more.

  3. Off the heat, stir in the yogurt and cilantro. Season with salt to taste and serve immediately.
