Tips for Cooking Turkey Masala
- Use Store-Bought Sauces as a Shortcut: Ready-made sauces are the biggest timesaver! In our recipe, we use an Indian Masala Simmer Sauce as the base. There are so many Indian simmer sauces available: Butter Chicken, Tikka Masala, Korma Curry, Vindaloo Curry.
Look for a SIMMER sauce, which is a sauce that also includes yogurt or coconut milk, that you can just add vegetables and proteins to (usually a glass jar or rip-open pouch.) A curry PASTE is very concentrated mixture of spices into a paste. A little goes a long ways.
- Flavor Blast Shortcut: The fastest and easiest way to give new life to leftover meats, seafood and vegetables is to toss them in just a couple tablespoons of a sauce (like the Masala!), heat up a frying pan with oil, and cook your coated protein or veggies. Cook 3-4 minutes, until everything is warmed through. The sauce will create a beautiful, flavorful crust.
What is a Buddha Bowl?
A Buddha Bowl is simply a one-bowl meal!
Start with a base of grains or greens, then add veggies – cooked or raw, and a lean protein. Wrap it all up with a signature sauce and a fun, crunchy topping.
Use what you have in your refrigerator and customize your bowl:
- leftover Thanksgiving turkey
- leftover roasted veggies
- last carrot or tomato in the drawer
- extra basmati rice that you cooked the day before
The game changer will be a yummy sauce: the 10-Minute Mango & Golden Raisin Chutney and an unexpected crunchy topping – Roasted Chickpeas.
