Steps to make the turkey bites with curry and turmeric
To prepare the turkey bites with curry and turmeric, first take the pieces of turkey breast; if they are too large, cut them into smaller pieces so they cook evenly. Chop half a yellow onion into small pieces. Meanwhile, coat the turkey pieces in all-purpose flour. Now take a large pan, add extra virgin olive oil and lightly sauté the onion, add the turkey pieces and brown them well for about 5 minutes. Pour the whole milk into a glass and add about 1 scant tbsp of curry and 1 scant tsp of turmeric, mix well and pour it over the meat. Season with salt, lower the heat and cook the meat for another 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
The meat should remain tender and nicely creamy. Your turkey bites are ready to be enjoyed!
Storage and tips
You can store the meat bites in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
If you want them more flavorful, you can add more curry.
If you don’t want to use whole milk, you can use coconut milk instead.
You can make this dish with either turkey or chicken.
