Chicken Curry and Beyond - The CurryFocus Blog

Thanksgiving is a harvest festival - this means that it is a festival that gives thanks for the harvest.

There are lots of harvest thanksgiving festivals around the world with the most famous one being Thanksgiving Day in the USA, celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November each year, which means that Thanksgiving Day is on November 26th in 2009.

One of the most well known annual parades in the world is the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade with the 83rd annual parade taking place in 2009.

Thanksgiving Day is a public holiday and a lot of people also have Friday off work so the Thanksgiving holiday weekend stretches over four days when families and friends gather all around the USA for the celebrations, the centerpoint of which is usually the traditional turkey meal served with potatoes, vegetables and cranberry sauce.

Now turkeys are big birds and people tend to buy big ones for Thanksgiving, meaning that there is often leftover turkey meat that has to be eaten over the long weekend.

A great way of eating leftover turkey is to make a delicious turkey curry and there are some great turkey curry recipes on the Curry Focus website. Leftover turkey curry really is tasty and easy to make - the turkey has already been fully cooked for the main meal so the leftover turkey curry can be made in less than 30 minutes.

Instead of picking at the leftover turkey and making turkey sandwiches, why not make a yummy curry this year?

Once again, Thanksgiving is nearly upon us and plans are being made, and finalized, as to who hosts the traditional family meal and what to do over the long weekend.

My family is much the same as most, I guess. We’ll spend most of the day snacking and drinking before the main meal of the day arrives. And, yes, it’s turkey again. And, as usual, the turkey will be huge.

So what do you do with leftover turkey?

I don’t know about you, but I get fed up with turkey sandwiches.

What I like is turkey curry. It’s really easy to make with Thanksgiving turkey leftovers because the turkey has already been cooked. All that has to be done is heat up the meat in a good curry sauce and then serve it on rice. The whole cooking process only takes about 20 minutes, and that included cooking the rice.

There’s a great turkey curry recipe on the Curry Focus web site and you can check it out here.

Why not try it out? It’s easy and the results are delicious.
