Indian recipe to use leftover turkey please?

I'm looking for an Indian recipe to use leftover turkey.


I'd like a tomatoey sort of sauce with a couple of extras.


My sister is a little fussy so no chick peas or lentils but I can use spinach.


Could someone give me a few guidelines or general ideas please?


I don't particularly need a full recipe but a spice mix guide and what to chuck in would be helpful.


General inspiration please?


Thanks.Indian recipe to use leftover turkey please?
Jalfrezi was originally created as an Anglo Indian dish to sort of stir-fry the left-overs. Turkey left-over would be a fantastic candidate to make Jalfrezi. Following is the recipe for Chicken Jalfrezi. You can adopt it to make Turkey Jalfrezi

Chicken Jalfrezi Recipe


Jalfrezi is stir-fry with curry spices. This is my restaurant signature recipe. I use thin strips of chicken breast, making it unnecessary to marinate. I like my Jalfrezi more like a stir-fry, and less like a thick tomato based curry sauce. Many restaurants use Tomato puree or Tomato paste, I use Besan Aalan. In Punjab, Besan Aalan and Makki Aalan are used to make Saag. Aalan is a slurry made of water and Besan or corn flour.
