Cooking Instructions

step 1

Heat the Extra-Virgin Coconut Oil (1 Tbsp) in a medium Dutch oven over medium heat. When the oil is hot and shimmering, add the Yellow Onion (1) and Garlic (2 cloves) and cook for about 5 minutes until the onions are translucent. (Be careful not to burn the garlic! If it starts to brown at all, reduce the heat, stat!)

step 2

Stir in the Thai Red Curry Paste (4 Tbsp) and cook for 1-2 minutes, just to unlock the curry’s delicious flavor.

step 3

Stir in the Light Coconut Milk (1 can), 100% Pumpkin Purée (1 can), Low-Sodium Tamari Sauce (1 Tbsp), and Rice Vinegar (1 tsp). Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer.

step 4

Add the Turkey (3 cups) and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes, until the stew has thickened slightly.

step 5

Add the Fresh Baby Spinach (3 cups), stirring until it’s just wilted, about 1 minute (max). Taste and add a little extra tamari or salt if needed. (If your stew is too thick, feel free to add a little chicken broth to achieve the desired consistency.)

step 6

Serve warm topped with Fresh Cilantro (to taste), Cranberry Sauce (to taste), and Pepitas (to taste) if you’re feeling festive.
