Top tip for making Leftover turkey curry
You can add the cold cooked meat at the end of the method instead of at the beginning if you want to make sure the sauce has plenty of time to slow cook and develop in flavour if you’ve got time. This will also make sure the turkey keeps it moisture and you don’t overcook it when adding to the curry. Make sure your turkey is reheated all the way through before serving in this curry.
