Cooking Instructions
- Bring a large saucepan filled with salted hog water to a boil. Add the quinoa and boil for 13-14 mins, until cooked, then drain.
- Heat a medium frying pan with 2 tsp oil on medium heat. Add the turkey, then season with sea salt and black pepper. Cook for 8-10 mins, until golden and cooked through.
- Roughly chop the coriander. Halve the tomatoes. Add the curry powder, apricots and coconut milk to the pan. Cook for 2 mins, then add the tomatoes, spinach and coriander. Simmer for 2 mins, then remove from the heat. Stir through the almonds and season with sea salt and black pepper.
- Squeeze the juice from half the lime over the cooked quinoa. Check your turkey is cooked through by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the meat; the juices should run clear. Cook for longer if necessary.
- Serve the quinoa with the turkey. Squeeze over the juice from the remaining lime (to taste).
