​Many of might have some turkey leftovers in the fridge right now, after the Thanksgiving celebration in the United States yesterday. Or there might be some after another holiday meal during this season.

This is a great recipe to do something little different with the leftovers, it doesn't take a lot of time, the meal was ready in 30 minutes, more or less.
Even if you want to cook some rice with it. I went with egg noodles, or if you want to use stuffing - all possibilities!

Instead of using turkey, chicken is of course a great choice , as well as lamb, or just beans to make a vegetarian meal out of it.

​It has lots of flavours, from ginger, spinach, and spices, all giving it different layers and nuances.
Also the scent that came off of it, while it was cooking whet the appetite nicely, even after a big holiday meal the day before.
The recipe has several spices, if you don't favor one or some of them, leaving it out shouldn't be a problem, just like always, check the taste before serving. 

~ Cheers!


TURKEY AND SPINACH STEW

  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • ¼ to ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
  • 1 cup tomatoes, chopped 
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  •  Salt
  •  freshly ground pepper
  • ½ pound fresh spinach, trimmed of thick stems, washed and roughly chopped
  • 2 cups leftover turkey, white or dark meat or a combination, roughly chopped



  1. Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; add onion, garlic and ginger and cook until they begin to soften, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  2. Add coriander, turmeric and cayenne and cook, stirring, until spices are fragrant, about another minute.
  3. Add tomatoes and their juices and coconut milk and sprinkle with salt and pepper; bring mixture to a boil and reduce heat to medium. Simmer for another 8 to 10 minutes, or until tomatoes break down.
  4. Add spinach and turkey to pan and continue to cook until spinach wilts and turkey is warmed through, another 3 to 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning, garnish and serve.
