- 1 large Red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 large Zucchini, sliced
- 2 cups Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup Coconut milk, light
- 2 tablespoons Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander

Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables: chop the onion, mince the garlic, grate the ginger, slice the carrots and zucchini, and chop the bell pepper.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the turkey sausages and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned all over. Remove sausages from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Add the garlic and ginger to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the curry powder, turmeric, and ground coriander to the skillet and stir well to coat the onion mixture with the spices.
Add the sliced carrots, red bell pepper, and zucchini to the mixture and cook for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Return the sausages to the skillet and add the low-sodium vegetable broth and coconut milk. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
After 20 minutes, add the fresh spinach to the skillet and stir until the spinach wilts.
Season the curry with salt and black pepper as desired. Add the lime juice and stir well.
Serve the heart-healthy curried sausages over cooked brown rice, garnished with chopped cilantro.
