Healthy Turkey Korma with Tomato & Cucumber Chutney

We all love a great take away! This super recipe put together by Chef Dave Gorman is light, bright and colourful. It is a super way to enjoy the comforts of a take away, but with a healthier slant. Remember though that coconut milk is high in saturated fat. If you want to make this dish healthier, you could completely replace the coconut milk with extra chopped tomatoes or passata. Still, the the dish is a great source of lean protein as it utilises turkey meat.

We serve the korma with a bright and zesty chutney of sorts – without sugar and focusing on fresh ingredients it add fibre and nutrients. We also add fibre to the aromatic rice pilaff using sweetcorn. To make it even healthier, you could use brown rice, but remember it takes much longer to cook. So if you decided to use brown rice, put it on to cook at the start and follow the packaging cooking instructions!
