Instructions
Prepare the turkey breast by trimming any excess fat. Cut into large chunks if necessary to fit into your crock pot.
In the bottom of the crock pot, combine the diced onion, garlic, and ginger.
Add the coconut milk, chicken broth, diced tomatoes, curry powder, cumin, turmeric, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create the curry base.
Add the potatoes and carrots into the mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Place the turkey breast on top of the vegetable mixture, spoon a bit of the curry sauce over the turkey, and cover the crock pot with its lid.
Set the crock pot to low and cook for 6-8 hours, or until the turkey is tender and can be shredded easily with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the turkey breast and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded turkey to the crock pot and mix well to combine with the curry sauce and vegetables.
Stir in the lime juice and taste for seasoning. Adjust salt and pepper if necessary.
Serve the curried turkey over cooked rice or with naan for dipping. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of freshness.
