Turkey Curry

I adapted this easy recipe from my mother. She always made this for me and it is one of my favorites. I hope you like it too! Don't let the ingredient list scare you- the beauty of this dish is that it is made entirely in the microwave!

Easy!

Ingredients:
Sauce:
1 tbsp. butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tbsp. flour
2 tbsp. curry powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ginger
paprika to taste
1 cup canned evaporated milk

The rest:
4 cups cooked chicken or turkey
1 egg well beaten
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
cooked hot rice (or reheated from freezer)

Optional: chutney and "side boys": raisins, chapatis and other traditional Indian side dishes

Preparation Instructions:
1. Melt butter in casserole dish in your microwave. Add onion, flour, curry, salt, ginger, and paprika. Cook for 4 minutes on high, stirring occasionally.

2. Gradually blend in milk, cook 3 minutes to thicken, stirring occasionally.

3. Add chicken or turkey, blend a little sauce into the egg (so it does not cook) and add the egg into the curry sauce. Mix well. Heat but do not boil or the sauce will curdle. Stir in Worcestershire sauce.

4. Serve over rice with "side boys"/side dishes. We like coconut, peanuts and raisins.

Note: This should freeze fine. If sauce separates after reheating, just stir and make sure it is heated all of the way through. If you do not want to use the egg since it is not fully cooked, you can use egg white or those egg beaters at the store to avoid any salmonella problems. I have never had a problem with this recipe. I have not tried to eliminate the egg, but you could do that if you wanted to. Don't forget- rice freezes beautifully! Make a big batch and freeze in meal portions.
