3 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 medium onion, sliced thin¼ cup raisins 2 tablespoons curry powder Table salt 4 medium cloves garlic, minced or pressed through a garlic press (about 4 teaspoons)4 teaspoons grated fresh ginger 2 cups vegetables, roasted1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed1 cup water 10 ounces shredded cooked turkey (about 2 cups)1 cup frozen green peas 1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt ¼ cup minced fresh cilantro leaves

Before You Begin

Don’t substitute low-fat or nonfat yogurt here, or the sauce will be too thin and have an off flavor. This recipe is from our cookbook The Best Make-Ahead Recipe.

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until just shimmering. Add the onion, raisins, curry powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until the onion is softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  2. Stir in the roasted vegetables, chickpeas, and water and cook, stirring frequently, until heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir in the turkey and peas and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes more.
  3. Off the heat, stir in the yogurt and cilantro. Season with salt to taste and serve immediately.
