How to Make Turkey Curry With Raisin Rice

**Prepare the Rice:** In a large nonstick skillet, toast 1 cup raw brown rice over medium heat, stirring frequently, until most of the rice is lightly browned (about 5 minutes). Stir in 1/2 cup raisins and 1 1/2 cups chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed.
**Cook the Turkey:** In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground turkey over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
**Sauté the Vegetables:** Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and diced, to the skillet. Sauté over medium heat until the onion is translucent and softened (about 5 minutes).
**Make the Curry Sauce:** Reduce heat to low. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, and 2 tablespoons curry powder to the skillet. Stir until the flour begins to bubble (about 1 minute).
**Combine the Liquids:** In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup skim milk, 2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder, and 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules until smooth.
**Thicken the Sauce:** Gradually whisk the milk mixture into the curry mixture, stirring constantly over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
**Combine and Heat:** Add the cooked turkey and the apple-onion mixture to the curry sauce. Stir well to combine and heat through (about 2 minutes).
**Assemble and Serve:** Stir the cooked raisin rice into the turkey curry mixture. Transfer to a greased baking dish (optional) and serve warm. Enjoy!
