The Frickin Chicken: Curried Turkey Sandwich

About Me

Amanda:
I've always had a love of cooking. As a teenager, when most of my friends were watching sitcoms, I was watching Food Network. I was always experimenting on my family with my "creations." Recently I have found a new passion in food. I now follow the principles of Weston A. Price Foundation, using Real Food when I cook. I've eliminated processed foods from my life. I don't use too many measurements when I cook, just a lot of love.

I have opened up this blog to my family and some friends, so there will be a lot of recipes to enjoy. As always, please leave comments, and suggestions. If you try one of our recipes, please let us know what you thought of it! To find out more about me, visit my personal blog here.

Contributing Cooks:

Julie:
One of my wonderful sister-in-laws. Shes a great mom of two. She and I share a passion for food. One of her favorite weekend spots is to go hang out at the gourmet supermarket to take in the sights! You can visit her personal blog here.

Karen:
My Momma. Yes, I'm almost 30 and call her Momma. She encouraged my love for food by helping me cook many dinners while I was growing up. I cooked spaghetti so many times, that to this day, we are both "tired" of it. But back then she never complained.

Jules:
I met Jules in the blogsphere and fell in love with her blog, Far from the Sticks. Here is a little more about her in her own words: I grew up in the wilds of New Hampshire. After college I went in search of warmth and sun and ended up in San Diego. In Feb. '09 I moved to Ankara, Turkey with my fiance. Officially I am now an ex-pat. I am currently butchering Turkish in my attempt to learn it, but have had more success with the food. I pounce at any chance to try a new dish, and have few boundaries when it comes to what I won't eat. Through my exeriences I am learning the intricacies of a cuisine that varies from Mediterranean to Anatolian. Growing up I never imagined this particular adventure but nonetheless am excited for what is to come.

Curried Turkey Sandwich

I wanted to take my girls to the mall to play today. Yesterday we were cooped up inside because of a stormy day and we wanted to get out today. I didn't want to go to a park because with all the rain it was supposed to be extremely humid today. I can handle some heat, but sticky humidity I hate! Anyway, lately when I plan a meal out for the girls I end up taking a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I wanted to change it up a bit today.

Curried Turkey Sandwich

2 slices of bread
canned turkey meat or deli meat diced
1.5 tbsp of mayo
1 small carrot
1/4 - 1/2 apple
1 tbsp raisins
dash of mild curry powder

Mix turkey with mayo. Grate carrot and apple with the fine side of your grater or micro plane. My girls cannot chew raisins yet, so I minced them up really small, otherwise add them whole. Put in a dash of curry powder and stir.

*This would also be great with tuna fish instead of turkey.
