Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1.5 pounds ground turkey
• 1 large yellow onion, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• 2 teaspoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
• 0.5 cup vegetable broth
• 1 cup white rice
• 2 cups water (for rice)
• 12 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 1/2 pounds ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
2. Add 1 chopped yellow onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Stir in 2 teaspoons curry powder, 1 teaspoon ground turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 1 minute until aromatic.
4. Add 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 (13 1/2 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, and 1/2 cup vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
5. Meanwhile, cook 1 cup white rice according to package directions using 2 cups water. Steam 12 ounces trimmed green beans until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Season green beans with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
6. Season the curry with 1 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to taste. Serve the Creamy Coconut Turkey Curry over white rice, with the steamed green beans on the side.
