Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1 large granny smith apple, cored, peeled and chopped
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 3 tablespoons curry powder (or to taste)
  • 2 teaspoons cumin (or to taste)
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup apple cider (NOT apple cider vinegar!)
  • 1 cup whipping cream (unwhipped)
  • 13 cup mango chutney
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 5 cups cooked chicken, chopped (or turkey)

Method

  • Melt butter in a large skillet (I use my large electric skillet for this).
  • Add in the onion, garlic, ginger, curry powder and cumin; saute for about 10 minutes.
  • Add in the chopped apple and flour; stir for 3 minutes.
  • Gradually whisk in broth; bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
  • Add in apple cider, whipping cream, chutney and tomato paste; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the mixture thickens (about 20-25 minutes, at this point season with more spices if desired).
  • Add in the chopped turkey, season with salt and pepper, then simmer for about 5 minutes, or until heated through.
  • **NOTE** for a thicker sauce make a slurry of cold water and a tablespoon of flour, and add it in towards the end of cooking, just simmer for another minute or so until desired thickness.
