What's that... Curry for less than 250 Calories?!?!

So... Mum says she wanted to make a vegetable curry for tea, this rings alarm bells in my head because my mum is incapable of making anything without saturating it in olive oil and salt 
(No offence mum but not exactly what I need right after the Christmas splurging!!)

So I offer to cook (not that I mind!)
 And the results were splendiferous if I do say so myself :)

Ingredients (read: whatever I found in the fridge) :

2 x Courgettes
1 x Large Carrot
1 x Onion
1 x Small Sweet Potato
2 x Parsnips
1 x Bell Pepper
1 x Broccoli
4 cloves of garlic
2 x Sticks of Celery
4 x Turkey Breast (570g)
500ml Chicken Stock
9 Dried Apricots
60g Raisins
2 tsp Coconut Oil.
1 tsp Tumeric
1 tsp Cayenne
 

 ....................................................................................................................
Step 1:
Chop up everything

 Even the Apricots ^^^
 ..............................................................................................................
Step 2

Chop the turkey into strips and fry in 1 tsp coconut oil and half of the chopped onion and 1 tsp hot chilli powder until the turkey gets some colour, then remove from the pot and set aside.
 .........................................................................................................................
Step 3
Fry the remaining onion with 1 tsp Coconut oil.
Add the Garlic, Chicken Stock, Celery, Pepper, Cayenne and Tumeric. 
Simmer for 5 mins. 
Its should now look like this....

 .......................................................................................................................
Step 4
Add the Carrot, Parsnips, Sweet Potato, Brocolli and the Turkey and give it a mix around to coat everything.

 ..................................................................................................................
Step 5
Finally add the two tins of Tomatoes and the courgette, Apricot and Raisins.
Simmer for 15 mins stirring occasionally. 
 
 .................................................................................................................
Step 6
Cook some Quinoa, CousCous, Rice, Noodles...Whatever!
And serve with a dollop of Total Fage (or any low fat/low sugar yoghurt) 
and a sprinkle of coriander leaves.

 
 
 This recipe make about 7 portions.
