Instructions
Cut the turkey breast into bite-sized chunks and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the curry powder, ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
In the crock pot, layer the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
Add the turkey breast pieces to the crock pot, and sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the meat.
Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth. Stir in the tomato paste until well combined.
Sprinkle the dried currants over the top without stirring them into the mixture.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the turkey is tender and the flavors are well blended.
About 15 minutes before the cooking time ends, add the baby spinach to the crock pot. Stir gently to combine and allow the spinach to wilt into the curry.
Serve the turkey curry over cooked basmati rice and garnish with fresh cilantro.
