Steps:

• Heat the sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook the turkey with onion and garlic in the oil until the meat is no longer pink, 10 to 15 minutes. Chop the meat up into crumbles as it cooks. Stir in the garbanzo beans, tomatoes, curry powder, chili sauce, and coconut milk; bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

SWEET CHICKPEA CURRY

Steps:

• Note about curry paste: The more you use of course, the hotter it will be. It depends on the brand really. When using my favorite, Patak's, I use the smaller amount. Or if I have another kind such as Sharwood's, I use more.
• Combine all ingredients in a casserole dish. Heat oven to 300 or 325 (you know your oven best!)Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Then stir, cover again and bake another 30-35 minutes.
• I like to serve this with steamed greens, especially collards, either on the side with a dressing, or stirred right into the stew! They complement the curry flavors beautifully. I've never had the dilemma of too much left-over, but I'm sure it would freeze well.

SWEET POTATO AND CHICKPEA CURRY

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine onions, garlic, hot pepper and ginger. Pulse until finely chopped. Place oil in a large saute pan over medium-low heat. Add chopped onion mixture and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add hot pepper flakes, ground ginger, ground coriander, cumin, turmeric, cardamom pods and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir to mix. Add sweet potatoes and stir until well covered in spices. Stir in the coconut milk.
• Dissolve tamarind paste in hot broth and add to pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until sweet potatoes are just tender, about 25 minutes. (Taste potatoes to be sure they are cooked all the way through, and allow additional cooking time if necessary.)
• Add chickpeas and simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes. Adjust salt to taste. Transfer to a warmed bowl and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve, if desired, with white rice and broccolini.
