Immune-Boosting Curry Recipe

Here is a recipe for a hearty and flavorful curry that includes several of the immune-boosting foods mentioned in my previous article: “Immunity Boosting Foods to Eat This Winter”

Immune-Boosting Curry

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 medium onion, diced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tablespoon ginger, grated

• 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced

• 1 cup leafy greens (such as spinach or kale), chopped

• 1 cup diced tomatoes

• 1 cup coconut milk

• 1 teaspoon turmeric

• 1 teaspoon cumin

• 1 teaspoon coriander

• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 cup water

• 1 cup cooked turkey, shredded

• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro for garnish

Instructions:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it is translucent, about 5 minutes.

2. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for an additional minute.

3. Add the sweet potato, leafy greens, tomatoes, coconut milk, turmeric, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt to the pot. Stir to combine.

4. Add the water to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the sweet potato is tender, about 15-20 minutes.

5. Add the cooked turkey to the pot and stir to combine.

6. Garnish with chopped cilantro and lime and serve over rice or with naan bread. Enjoy!

This curry is a delicious and easy way to incorporate several immune-boosting foods into your diet. The sweet potato, leafy greens, and turmeric are all rich in antioxidants and nutrients that support the immune system, while the coconut milk and spices add flavor and creaminess to the dish. The turkey adds protein and tryptophan, which can help regulate the immune system. This curry is sure to become a wintertime favorite!
