Turkey and Mango Curry - Pinch of Nom Slimming Recipes

For the full list of ingredients and comprehensive instructions, please see the recipe card at the end of this post. Before you scroll, there’s important stuff to know in the blurb!

This warming turkey curry is flavoured with fresh mango and coconut and is the perfect choice for a Friday night fakeaway.

If you’ve never had a turkey curry before, then this one will surprise you! Using turkey breast helps to keep the fat content lower, and it also adds some extra flavour and tastes amazing too.

Using a dairy free coconut milk alternative (like Alpro) instead of tinned coconut milk helps to keep the calories lower and make this tasty Turkey and Mango Curry slimming friendly.

We’ve used a food processor to blitz up our paste, but if you don’t have one then you can just finely chop the ingredients up with a knife and mix together instead. This will take much longer however, so we’d advise using a food processor if possible!

If you wanted to make this Turkey and Mango Curry a bit hotter, then you could add an extra red chilli, or even leave the seeds in when you make your paste to add an extra spicy kick.

What diets is this Turkey and Mango Curry suitable for?

This Turkey and Mango Curry can be made suitable for gluten free diets as long as you use gluten free alternatives to the following ingredients:

  • Stock cube

Easy to follow recipe with delicious end result
I used chicken as I didn’t have Turkey in the fridge and the flavours were amazing. This dinner tasted like a proper treat but was super healthy and high in protein. Deliciously sweet, just the way I like a curry, with the right amount of heat.

Is there a dairy free alternative that could be used instead of the greek yogurt?

Reply

    SharonThursday 3rd November 2022

    Hi Louise, there are several brands of dairy free Greek yoghurt available, including Oatly, Alpro and Koko. These would be a suitable alternative to Greek yoghurt. Enjoy the recipe!
