Ingredients
 

  • 1 lb. Honeysuckle White ground turkey
  • 3 teaspoons coconut oil
  • 1 small yellow onion (chopped)
  • 1 red pepper (chopped)
  • 1/2 butternut squash (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 Tablespoon minced ginger
  • 3 teaspoons curry powder
  • 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 can diced tomatoes with their juices
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • Salt and pepper
  • Cilantro (for serving)
  • Prepared rice (for serving)
  • Greek yogurt (for serving)

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, heat a teaspoon of the oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, stirring often, until no pink remains. Remove the turkey to a plate.
  • Heat the remaining oil in the skillet and add the onion, bell pepper, and squash. Saute until the onions start to soften--3-4 minutes. Stir in the garlic, ginger, and spices and saute until fragrant, another minute or two.
  • Add the turkey back to the pan along with the tomatoes and coconut milk. Season with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a steady simmer, cover, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the butternut squash is softened.
  • Serve the mixture with a swirl of Greek yogurt, a sprinkling of fresh chopped cilantro, and rice, if desired.

Notes

  • You can use ground chicken or beef if you prefer.
