Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 ounce ground turkey (lean)
0.25 yellow onion (finely chopped)
0.5 clove garlic (minced)
0.5 ounce fresh ginger (minced)
0.25 cup diced tomatoes (canned)
0.5 teaspoon garam masala
0.25 teaspoon turmeric powder
0.5 teaspoon salt
1 piece naan bread
0.5 cup plain yogurt
0.25 cup cucumber (finely diced)
1 tablespoon fresh mint (chopped)

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet. Add the finely chopped yellow onion, minced garlic, and minced fresh ginger. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the onion softens and becomes fragrant.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, garam masala, and turmeric powder. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
While the keema is cooking, prepare the raita. In a small bowl, combine the plain yogurt, finely diced cucumber, and chopped fresh mint. Stir well.
Warm the naan bread according to package instructions (can be done in a microwave, toaster, or skillet).
Serve the keema hot with warm naan bread and a dollop of cucumber raita.

Notes

You can add a pinch of chili powder for extra spice in the keema. If fresh mint is unavailable, a small amount of dried mint can be used in the raita.
