There’s been a lot of craziness going on this week with Black Friday’s, Cyber Monday’s, and Turquoise Tuesday’s, so this week’s Monday Munchies had to get pushed to Wednesday.
Got all that? Me either.
Anyway, check out this week’s edition: Turkey Curry. You need something to make that leftover turkey a little more interesting on week two, right?

This mild and creamy turkey curry is quick and tasty and uses mainly storecupboard spices – and Christmas leftovers.
