Make it Super:
In large heavy pot, heat oil over medium. Sauté onion and garlic until onions are transparent. Add spices, cauliflower, carrots and potatoes, and mix well. Heat for 2 to 3 minutes and then add stock. Simmer the mixture on medium low heat until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
Add peas, tomatoes, turkey and cashews. Cook ten minutes more or until turkey is heated through.
Serve on a bed of jasmine rice.
*For a mild curry use regular or mild curry powder.
**Keep turkey cold until you are ready to add it to the curry. Make sure to use good chunk of turkey as shredded turkey will break down in the curry.
