Does anybody else’s kids live off pasta? My fussy eat does and i’m so tired of bland cheesy pasta. I was in need of some interesting flavour and a little spice. Made with ingredients always laying around in the cupboard like cans of chickpeas and passata this moroccan chickpea and turkey curry was inexpensive to make. It is one of those dishes when theres nothing left in the house and what ever is left in the cupboard is thrown together, thus Moroccan Chickpea and Turkey Curry was born. At least born for the first time in my kitchen anyway.

The combination of the mince, chickpeas, veggies and rice makes it so filling and makes the dish go so far to feed everyone or a whole weeks worth of meal prep. You can even keep some in the freezer.

Make it a Veggie or Vegan Moroccan Chickpea Curry

It is so easy to make this veggie or vegan, simply leave out the turkey and you still have an amazingly filling, delicious curry. In fact I even thought I was over complicating this recipe adding the turkey mince but hey I love it both ways!

This recipe is so versatile you can use whatever veggies you like – broccoli, peas, peppers, carrots, celery. Serve it with rice, couscous, bread or mash.
