Turkey curry is a delicious way to use up any meat leftover from Christmas Day, but this tasty dish is so much more than just a leftover turkey recipe.
Making a turkey curry is a great way to use up any meat you've got left over from Christmas day. This delicious recipe, made with oranges, mango chutney, onions and flaked almonds tastes truly scrumptious and can be made using both cooked and raw turkey.

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.
