Curry Turkey with Crispy Vegetables

I can describe how to prepare a dish inspired by international cuisine with an Italian touch, the Curry Turkey with Crispy Vegetables. Here is the recipe:

Ingredients

• 400 grams of turkey breast
• 1 zucchini
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 onion
• 2 carrots
• 200 ml of coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons of curry paste (better if it’s a homemade blend with fresh spices)
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Preparation

1. Cut the turkey breast into uniformly sized pieces, then season them with salt and pepper.
2. Heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a large pan and sauté the chopped onion until it becomes translucent.
3. Add the turkey pieces and brown them until they are golden on all sides.
4. In the meantime, cut the zucchini, bell pepper, and carrots into thin sticks to keep them crunchy even after cooking.
5. When the turkey is golden, add the vegetables to the pan and sauté them together for a few minutes.
6. Dissolve the curry paste with a little coconut milk to make it less dense, then pour it into the pan with the remaining 200 ml of coconut milk.
7. Cook everything over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes, until the turkey is well cooked and the vegetables are crunchy yet tender.
8. Adjust salt and pepper if necessary.
9. Serve hot, garnishing with chopped fresh parsley.

Curiosity

Curry is not a single spice, but a blend that can include turmeric, coriander, cumin, ginger, and many other spices. The word “curry” is a Western derivation of the Tamil word “kari”, which means “sauce”.
