Turkey Katsu Curry

Who said your meals have to be boring?

When you are aiming to optimise your nutrition to compliment your athletic performance, or simply if you wish to eat healthily for the purpose of fulfilling a balanced lifestyle, your meals do not have to be boring! Many people enjoy the simplicity of plain meat and vegetables, however, we know that more often than not, everyone likes a bit of variety.

Not only that — food is for enjoying — and let’s face it, steamed broccoli and chicken breast holds very little excitement after a long day at the office or gym. It is possible to easily recreate well known delicious recipes with macro friendly ingredients. Here is one for you to try:

Ingredients:

Aims to serve 2

• 300g lean turkey steaks
• 2 free range eggs
• 100g rolled oats
• Paprika
• Salt & pepper
• 1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil (for frying)
• 1 cup white basmati rice (or brown)

Sauce:

• 1 sweet red bell pepper
• 1/2 white onion
• 6 medium spring onions
• 1 can of light coconut milk (low fat)
• 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 1/2 tsp curry powder

Method:

Step one: Preparing the curry sauce & rice

• In a pan, fry all of the vegetables together (use a dash of water instead of oil to steam)
• When softened, add the coconut milk, soy, honey and curry powder. Separately, add the rice to 300ml of boiled water — leave both to simmer while you prepare the turkey steaks

Step two: Turkey!

• Whisk the eggs — in a separate bowl season the oats with salt, pepper & paprika
• To batter, dip the steaks in the egg mix and transfer over to the seasoned oats (make sure to coat all of the meat)
• To cook, add the oil to a hot frying pan & place the turkey flat — cook thoroughly on each side (the oats should be golden brown in colour)
