How to make turkey tikka skewers recipe

Serves 4

Total cooking time 20 minutes

Ingredients:
3 tablespoons tikka masala curry paste
2 tablespoons natural yogurt
500 g (1 lb) cubed turkey breast
1 large onion, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 large green pepper, cored, deseeded and cut into bite-sized pieces
To serve (optional)
basmati or long-grain rice
mango chutney

Method:
Mix the curry paste with the yogurt in a bowl, then add the cubed turkey. Mix well to coat, then thread onto 4–8 metal or pre-soaked wooden skewers with the chunks of onion and pepper. Arrange on the rack of a foil-lined grill tray.

Cook under a preheated medium grill for 12–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until thoroughly cooked and lightly charred.

Serve hot with basmati or long-grain rice and mango chutney, if liked.

For turkey tikka masala, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large saucepan and cook 1 large roughly chopped onion and 1 cored, deseeded and diced green or red pepper for 7–8 minutes until softened.

Stir 4 tablespoons tikka masala curry paste into the pan followed by 400 g (13 oz) cubed turkey breast. Stir to combine and seal the turkey, then add a 400 g (13 oz) can chopped tomatoes and 300 ml (½ pint) water.

Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer gently, uncovered, for 12–15 minutes until the turkey is thoroughly cooked and the sauce has thickened.

Stir 125 g (4 oz) full-fat natural yogurt into the curry before serving with basmati or long-grain rice. Total cooking time 30 minutes.
