The ingredients for Curried ground Turkey and Chickpea Stew are:

1 T + 1 tsp. olive oil
1 1/4 lb. package ground chicken or turkey (use chicken or turkey with less than 10% fat for South Beach Diet)
1 large onion, chopped in medium dice
2 T curry powder
1 can petite dice tomatoes with juice (14.5 oz.)

12 oz. fat free Greek yogurt

Here is how you make Curried ground Turkey and Chickpea Stew:

Heat 1 T olive oil in a heavy non-stick frying pan, then add ground chicken or turkey, breaking it apart with the turner and sauteing until it is well cooked and lightly browned. This will take 7-9 minutes, don't rush the browning step.Push the chicken or turkey to one side of the pan, add the extra tsp. olive oil, then add chopped onions and cook 3-4 minutes, until onions are just starting to get some color. Sprinkle onions with the curry powder and cook about 2 minutes more, turning a few times, then stir the onion mixture into the chicken.Add tomatoes with juice and drained chickpeas and let simmer about 5 minutes, or until some liquid has evaporated and flavors are well blended. Turn heat to low, stir in yogurt, and simmer about 3 minutes more. (Don't let it come to a boil after the yogurt has been added.)Season to taste with salt and fresh ground black pepper. Serve hot, sprinkled with chopped fresh cilantro if desired. This can be served over rice, but I just ate it in a bowl as a stew.Serving Size:?6- 1 cup servingsNumber of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user AUBSCOFFEEMAMA.
