Christmas Day has come and gone but there’s still heaps of turkey to get through. Rustle up this festive turkey curry and cosy up on the sofa with your favourite Christmas film. 

With just a hint of spice, family members old and young can enjoy this turkey curry. What better way to keep rid of all those leftovers? Serve up with steamed rice and delicious nan bread to mop up all the sauce.

Serves: 4

Cooking Time: 50mins

What You’ll Need:

• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 300g of pineapple, diced

• 1 apple, chopped
• 2 1/2 tbsp of curry powder
• 2 tbsp of desiccated coconut
• 300ml of chicken stock
• 200ml of light coconut milk
• 1 pinch of salt

What To Do: 

1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over a low heat. Add the onions and sweat for 1 minute until softened slightly.
2. Add the pineapple, banana and apple and cook gently for 5 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon.
