Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 2 cups white sweet potato diced, about 1 medium potato
  • 4 cups cauliflower florets about ½ large head of cauliflower
  • ½ red onion diced
  • 1 Tbsp sea salt
  • 2-3 Tbsp curry powder or to taste
  • 3 cloves garlic chopped
  • 2 cups chicken bone broth
  • 15oz can coconut cream or full fat coconut milk
  • preferred grain for serving (quinoa, rice, cauliflower rice)
  • lime wedges for serving (optional)
  • chopped almonds for serving (optional)
  • cilantro for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Heat a Dutch oven or large pot with a lid over medium high heat and add the olive oil.
  • Add the turkey to the pot and stir and break it up into small pieces.
  • Once the turkey is about half cooked, add the sweet potato, cauliflower, and onion to the pot and stir to combine, adding a little more oil if the pan seems dry.
  • Cover the pot with the lid and let it cook for 10 minutes, give or take a couple minutes, stirring halfway through. It's done when the potatoes are fork-tender.
  • Season the mixture with sea salt, curry powder, and garlic and stir to combine. Start with 2 Tbsp of curry powder.
  • Pour in the bone broth and coconut cream and mix until everything is well combined.
  • Give the mixture a taste to see if it needs any additional seasoning. Curry powders can really vary, so feel free to add more or any additional seasoning you think it needs. For a spicier taste, add more chili powder or cayenne pepper.
  • Let the mixture in the pot heat and meld for about 5 for minutes.
  • Serve the curry over your favorite grain, and optionally give it a squeeze of lime, some chopped almonds, and cilantro to garnish.
