SPEEDY SPICY TURKEY RICE

Steps:

• Heat half the oil in a wok or frying pan. Add the eggs, swirl to coat the base of the pan and allow to set to an omelette, flip and cook for 1-2 mins. Once cooked, remove, shred and set aside. Add the remaining oil to the pan, then stir-fry the chilli, if using, and spring onions for 1 min.
• Add the remaining ingredients and the egg, and heat through, stirring, until piping hot. Serve immediately with some extra soy and sweet chilli sauce, if you like.

SPICED TURKEY BREAST WITH PERSIAN GOLDEN PRUNES

Steps:

• Pat dry the turkey breast. Gently separate the skin from the meat using your fingers. Set the turkey breast aside.
• Combine the lemon juice, olive oil, coriander, ground cinnamon and 1 teaspoon each of the cumin, paprika and turmeric in a small bowl. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Spoon this mixture all over the turkey breast, then spread under the skin with your fingers (you may want to wear gloves).
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Place the turkey breast skin-side down in the skillet and increase the heat to medium-high. Sear the turkey breast without disturbing until the skin is almost crispy and golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Using a pair of tongs, flip the turkey breast and sear the other side until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove the turkey breast to a plate and set it aside.
• Reduce the heat to medium. If the skillet seems dry, add about 1 tablespoon more vegetable oil. Add the garlic and onion and saute, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes, remaining 1/2 teaspoon each cumin, paprika and turmeric and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until fragrant and darkened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes more. Add 2 cups water, the cinnamon stick and cardamom pods to the sauce, then reduce the heat to medium-low and bring the sauce to a low simmer.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a small pan over medium-low heat and saute the prunes until they're shiny and glazed on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the prunes to a bowl and heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the same small pan. Turn the heat to medium-low, add the barberries and saute until they're shiny and glazed, about 4 minutes.
• Add the prunes, barberries and 1/4 cup of water to the tomato sauce in the large skillet and stir to combine, making sure the prunes are fully submerged in the sauce. Return the turkey to the skillet and roast in the oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh (avoiding the bone) reads 165 degrees F, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes. Let the turkey sit for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute before slicing and serving with the sauce, over rice if desired.

CURRY SPICED TURKEY MEATBALLS OVER LEMON RICE

Steps:

• Heat a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the EVOO, once around the pan. Add 1/2 tablespoon of coriander, the celery, carrot, the crushed garlic clove, the zest of both lemons, and a little salt and pepper and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Add the rice and stir it to coat it in the oil. Add 2 1/2 cups of the chicken stock and the juice of one of the lemons. Bring the stock to a boil, cover the pot, and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 15 to 18 minutes, until the rice is tender.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, grated onion, half of the parsley, half of the chopped garlic, the curry powder, the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of coriander, the cumin, half of the grated ginger, and salt and pepper. Mix until just combined. Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of EVOO. Dip your hands in some water, then begin rolling small, bite-size balls, adding the balls to the pan as you roll them. Continue dipping and rolling until you have used up all the ground meat mixture. Let the meatballs get nice and brown before you turn them. Cook the balls for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally to brown them equally on all sides.
• Remove the balls from the skillet to a plate, return the skillet to the heat, and add the butter, sliced onion, the remaining chopped garlic, the rest of the grated ginger, the serrano pepper halves, and salt and pepper. Cook for about 3 minutes, until the onions are slightly tender, stirring frequently. Sprinkle the onions with the flour and continue to cook them for 1 minute. Whisk in the remaining 2 cups of chicken stock and bring the mixture up to a boil. Add the mango chutney and return the meatballs back to the skillet; cook for 2 to 3 minutes, add the peas, the remaining parsley, and the cilantro, and cook 1 more minute. Remove the serrano pepper from the sauce and discard. Divide the lemon rice among dinner plates and top it with some of the meatballs and sauce.
