INGREDIENTS

1 large onion, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1 apple, cored but not peeled, finely chopped
1 green pepper, seeded and finely chopped
2 tablespoons curry powder
2 cups turkey or chicken broth
Cooked turkey wings, disjointed
Meat from cooked turkey legs and thighs, cut into pieces
Leftover turkey gravy
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
½ cup seedless white grapes

Directions

Sauté the onion in the butter till soft. Add the apple and green pepper and cook till tender. Mix in the curry powder and cook for a few minutes to remove the raw taste. Pour in the broth and simmer for 10 minutes.

Add the turkey pieces and cook until they are heated through. Mix in any leftover turkey gravy. Season to taste and mix in the grapes. Serve with steamed rice, chutney, chopped salted peanuts, thinly sliced cucumbers dressed with oil and vinegar, and baked bananas. Beer is good with this.
