Steamed Turkey with coconut and curry leaf

This Indian Galette leans on coconut and curry leaf to do the heavy lifting. We steam the Turkey for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the coconut and curry leaf elements, and pat the turkey dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Turn up the heat and add the turkey. Steam over simmering water until just tender and vibrant, then dress while warm.

Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and the rest of the coconut and curry leaf flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the fennel along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.

Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
