Instructions
Brown the Turkey
In a large deep skillet over medium-high heat cook the ground turkey for 7 to 8 minutes until fully browned and broken into small pieces. Drain any excess liquid from the pan.
Toast the Spices
Push the cooked turkey to the edges of the pan and add the garam masala and turmeric to the center. Toast the spices for 30 seconds stirring constantly until fragrant then mix them into the meat.
Add Tomatoes and Chickpeas
Pour the crushed tomatoes into the skillet and add the chickpeas. Stir everything together bring to a simmer and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Finish with Yogurt
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the Greek yogurt until fully incorporated into the sauce. This adds creaminess and a significant protein boost without making the curry heavy.
