1. Heat the oil in a saucepan, add the onions and fry gently for 10 minutes until they are softened and lightly coloured. Add the parsnips and stir well.
2. To make the curry, stir in the curry paste, then add the tomatoes with a little salt, and stir well. Add 1½ canfuls of water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the parsnips are just tender.
3. To finish, stir in the turkey chunks, cover the pan again and simmer for a further 5 minutes until the turkey is heated through. Remove from the heat. (The curry can now be cooled and frozen for up to 2 months.) Lightly swirl in the yogurt and serve with basmati rice.

Make it your own

Add other vegetables - potatoes, carrots, celeriac or squash would all taste great. Make it go further by stirring in a drained and rinsed can of chickpeas or lentils with the turkey. Toss in a few handfuls of frozen peas or leaf spinach 3 minutes before the end.

'I liked the sound of this - the simpler it seems, the more likely I am to try it! The curry wasn't too hot, so the other flavours came through well.'

  Just made this on Boxing day, very simple and excellent way to keep plugging away at the turkey.

  I made this recipe on boxing day but used korma paste instead as my local store didnt have the madras, really mild but it worked. I had so much turkey left over as we all were poorly on christmas day that I made two batched at once. If you decide to do this, do not simply double the amount of water as it doesnt reduce enough. It was really nice though!!!!

  Absolutely loved this and will make it again, maybe trying chicken next time. Froze, unfroze and reheated perfectly. Very easy and quite therapeutic to make!

  Really warming and tasty. It's an ideal way to use up the leftover turkey and I will be making it again next boxing day.

  Made this, this morning and have just had a taster. Its delicious. All my kids who came to visit this morning have tasted it, and I am now fighting them off! I put slightly less curry powder and added some sun-dried tomatoes. Really nice.

  Made this on Christmas Day and it was so quick and easy. Everyone really enjoyed it on Boxing Day and I will be making this again this year. I made extra and have also frozen some. I will try adding some potatoes next time too.

  Enjoyed this using up some frozen turkey ! It is slightly heavy on the parsnip and I put in some mushrooms. The whole family enjoyed it.
