An uncomplicated meal Inspired by the classic Indian dish Aloo Keema.
Ground turkey has to be one of my favorite meats to work with.
It’s lean, takes to spices well, and is relatively inexpensive.

Our ground turkey version was delightful, warmly spicy, and satisfying.
It made for great leftovers, too.
Feel free to play around with the spices.
The “curry” part of this recipe is flexible.
Use your favorite curry powder, garam masala, or Indian spice mix.
When the oil is hot, add the ground turkey, spreading it out over the pan.
Try not to crowd the meat (you may need to cook in batches).
Cook the meat without stirring, until it begins to brown.
Add the chopped onion and chiles.
Stir and saute for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the onion begins to color a bit.
Sprinkle salt over everything.
Add the grated ginger and garlic, mix well and saute for another 1 to 2 minutes.
Stir to combine and cover.
When the potatoes are tender, add the diced tomatoes and peas.
Mix well and cover the pot.
Cook 2 to 3 minutes.
Add salt, if needed, to taste.
Right before you serve, mix in the chopped cilantro.
Serve alone or with flatbread or white rice.
