Curried Turkey

At long last, we have some turkey. Our friends gave us enough turkey to make Curried Turkey. Love that left over.

Curried Turkey with Fresh Fruit
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutes
Makes: 4 servings

2 cups long-grain rice
3 tbsp butter
2 medium onions, cut into eighths
2 tbsp curry powder
3 tbsp cornstarch
3 cups cubed cooked turkey or chicken
1 banana sliced
1 red-skinned apple, cut into thin wedges

Cook rice according to package instructions. About 15 minutes before rice is finished cooking, melt butter into a large saucepan. Add onions, and sprinkle with curry powder. Saute until onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the bouillon. Blend cornstarch with a couple tablespoons of cold water to make a smooth paste. Gradually stir into chicken bouillon mixture and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and smooth about 5 minutes. Then stir in turkey and fruit. Cover and simmer just until turkey is heated through about 3 minutes. Spoon over hot rice.

That's it and it is a wonderful way of finishing the extra turkey.
