Turkey Curry Recipe

Serves: 8
 
Chunks of Turkey are simmered in a flavorful and creamy, mood-soothing curry sauce. Turkey is a good source of tryptophan which is an essential amino acid that the body cannot make on its own but can get via eating foods that contains it. The body then converts tryptophan into serotonin. Serotonin is one of the brain’s key chemicals involved in regulating mood and emotions. A deficiency of serotonin is associated with depression meds.
Ingredients
  • 2 Tbls. Avocado Oil
  • 1.5 cups Onions, chopped
  • 2 Tbls. Ginger root, grated
