Ground Turkey, Sweet Potato & Pea Curry - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons ghee or 2 tablespoons oil
2 small onions, chopped
4 serrano peppers, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons ginger, peeled & shredded
1 lb lean ground turkey
2 1/2 cups sweet potatoes, peeled & diced into bite-size pieces
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can coconut milk (I use the light kind)
1/2 - 1 cup water
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon palm sugar or 1 tablespoon brown sugar
5 ounces frozen peas
1/2 - 1 teaspoon garam masala (optional)

Preparation

In a large saucepan, heat the ghee/oil over medium-high heat. Saute the onion, pepper and garlic for 3-5 minutes, or until the onion has softened.
Add the salt, turmeric, cinnamon, cumin, cardamom, chili powder, & ginger and combine well. Saute for 1 minute.
Add the ground turkey & stir well. Cook until meat is browned (about 3-5 minutes).
Add the sweet potato, coconut milk, 1/2 cup water, tomato paste and sugar. Stir well & bring to a boil, then lower heat & simmer for 20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are cooked through. Add the other 1/2 cup water if too much liquid gets cooked off to your liking.
Add the peas and garam masala, and cook just a bit more until the peas are warm. Add salt & pepper if desired; serve.
