Method

  • step 1

    Tip the onion, garlic, ginger, red pepper, sweet potatoes, turkey and chickpeas into a slow cooker. Stir in the curry paste and tomato purée, ensuring everything is well-coated. Pour in the chopped tomatoes and coconut milk, and scatter in the chopped coriander stalks, 1 tsp salt and some ground black pepper. Mix everything to combine. Cook on high for 3 hrs 30 mins, or low for 8 hrs. If you want to add spinach, tip it in 15 mins before the end of the cooking time. Stir well after 5 mins, once it has started to wilt.

  • step 2

    Serve the turkey curry with rice, scattered with the chopped coriander leaves, if you like.

Hi, thanks for your question. Yes you can - just make sure it's fully defrosted in the fridge overnight before using and that it's piping hot when you reheat it in the curry. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.
