- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Slice the turkey breast fillets into thin strips and season with 0.5 teaspoons of salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the curry powder, turmeric, cumin, and paprika to the skillet, stirring well to coat the onions and release the spices’ aromatics.
Pour in the coconut milk and chicken or turkey stock, stirring to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then add the turkey strips, ensuring they are evenly coated in the sauce.
Simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is cooked through and tender.
Stir in the lime juice and fresh cilantro, then adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.
Serve the curried turkey strips hot over cooked basmati rice if desired. Garnish with extra cilantro if preferred.
