Looking forward to Thanksgiving? What’s Thanksgiving without leftovers? In addition to the great aromas on the day, I love munching on the leftovers the next day. Add a little curry powder to roasted turkey and cooked vegetables to transform Thanksgiving leftovers into a fun, tasty dinner.
I’ve used green beans in this recipe, but you can add any cooked vegetables you have on hand. Rice goes well with the curry sauce, but if you have leftover potatoes, serve those instead.
For this quick meal, I used curry powder from the supermarket spice section. Strictly speaking, prepared curry powder doesn’t really exist in India. Good cooks prefer to make their own blend of spices using the freshest ingredients. The curry powder found in the markets should be used within 3 to 4 months. After that it loses some of its flavor.
• Helpful Hints:
A Golden Delicious apple can be used instead of the Granny Smith.
Minced garlic can be found in the produce section of the market or crush and use 1 medium garlic clove instead.
