It's only 9:23am and I've almost roasted a turkey


How 'bout that for some productivity? I seriously think the Whole Foods app has changed my life. And Scott's for that matter. Tonight we're having Thai-Style Red Curry with Turkey and Green Beans.


Those of you with iphones...you must download this free app. You can search recipes, get ideas for ingredients you have on-hand, and take your handy portable list to the store. Since we are on a budget, I frequently use my WF list in SuperFresh! Take that!!


Here's the recipe: (also available here: http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipes/2769)


Serves 6
Use leftover turkey (and perhaps green beans) from Thanksgiving to make this bright, spicy curry. Or substitute cubed, cooked chicken, tempeh or tofu. Ladle it over cooked brown rice or spaghetti squash and top with chopped cilantro if you wish. Ingredients with an asterisk (*) are available as Whole Foods Market Brands.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon canola oil 1 red onion, cut into 11/2-inch chunks 2 to 3 tablespoons red curry paste 1 (13.5-ounce) can light coconut milk* 11/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth 3 cups (about 1 1/4 pounds) shredded roasted turkey breast 6 carrots, chopped 1 (16-ounce) package frozen haricots verts* 1 to 2 tablespoons lime juice
Method
Heat oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until deep golden brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in curry paste and cook for 1 minute more. Whisk in coconut milk and broth, add turkey and carrots and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low, cover and simmer until carrots are almost tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Uncover, stir in green beans and lime juice and cook until carrots are tender and curry is thickened and hot throughout, 6 to 8 minutes more.

  1. I am super-impressed with your kitchen app-titude, and am planning on getting a Verizon iPhone as soon as it's available, specifically to use this app! I will not report to WF that you are abusing their technology :)
