Turkey Curry with Added Goodness - Family Favourites

This is the first Family Favourites recipe of 2015 and what better way to start the year than with leftover turkey!

Using leftovers are a great way of reducing waste and ultimately saving money. If you are not going to use them straight away simply place them in a freezer bag and freeze!

For this week's Family Favourite recipe I am sharing with you my turkey curry that has added goodness. Chicken can also be used, but I used turkey as I had a lot left over from Christmas and New Year.

This dish is a great way to get some added greens into the children.

This is what I did...
