In my family, we like pumpkin in savory and spicy dishes. This one is fragrant and spicy. Add more chili if you like it hot.

👍
Just graceful :)
Thank you! What did you find graceful about it?
Totaly in love with this recipe and i most definitely will try this out.
Its hard to find ground Turkey here in the Philippines, so maybe i will use beef! And also substitute the chicken stop with that of beef?
Or just use finely chopped chicken.
Either way i am excited. Thanks for sharing.
You can use finely chopped chicken. It tastes just as good. A friend has made it with ground pork and says it was really good. Let me know how you like it.
I did it.. A bit of adjustment here and there but it was goooddd.
Here is my post about it.

howdy there cecicastor! what in the world? pumpkin in turkey curry? I guess I've never had that combination, what nationality is that dish? lol.
My mom started cooking this and I just continued the tradition. It probably originated in India. They use a lot of curries. My mom was of English descent and her ancestors were with the British colonial army when India was a colony of England. They would have brought the recipes back with them.
howdy cecicastor! oh yes I see, how interesting to find out where that recipe came from! Yes it does look totally and authentically from India. and so healthy too with the curry and all.
My hubby used to add extra hot peppers to his, usually habanero!
howdy today cecicastor...oh wow, now that would be a different flavor also, adding habanero, wow. that would make it quite the bold dish!
I like the taste of habaneros, just not as much as hubby did. If I eat a quarter of one I am doing well. He would eat two or three whole! LOL
howdy back cecicastor! oh my..your husband would eat two or three whole! wow. no I'm like you. total Gringo I guess. lol.
Hello this recipe looks delicious i love to use pumpkin in my curry recipes:)
Thank you. We use squash and pumpkin in a lot of our recipes...with lots of spice! LOL
okay, I'm not even hungry and now I'm hungry...........BAD person you making such wonderful things to eat!!!!!!! and posting photo's of them that a wonderful too! :D
Try it! You will like it! LOL Funny when we lived in Canada, we didn't like a lot of spicy things...and now I crave spice!

I would really try this! We dont get much in the way of curry here it seems!
Why not? It is easy to make and you can add or subtract as much heat as you like! Homemade is so much better than what you can get in a restaurant...
I love me some Curry, thanks!!!
Curry is good for what ails you! Warms the insides and is a comfort food!
That looks delicious, save me a bowl :)
Coming right up, Karen! Tastes good the second day too. I use cauliflower rice to serve it with.
Even better, i love cauliflower rice asn't just tried Broccoli rice yum in a rissotto :)
I love risotto! Can't get here anymore. One of the things that just there...
Use broccoli for the rice add a few mushroom, asparagus then add full fat cheese.. yummy :)
Oh, That does sound so tasty, Karen! I will be trying this soon as I have a broccoli coming along in the garden. I need to get some asparagus though...
Asparagus is my new found love, :)
definitely want to try this out!
Thank you. If you have left overs, they taste amazing the second day.
Great recipe. I wouldn’t use coconut cream, isn’t that sweet? Too sweet for my taste.
Here we can buy two different types of coconut cream. One is sweetened the other isn't. If you find it too sweet, just leave the cream out and add more spice.
That looks delicious!
It is and it is easy to make too. It tastes amazing the second day but I don't very often get enough left over for second-day lunch! 🤭
Pumpkin and turkey were 2 different things that never cross my mind to mix them together to make a curry dish, something new worth trying, thanks for sharing @cecicastor!
Sometimes the most amazing food mixes come unexpectedly and comes as a quite a surprise! Thanks for visiting.
That is very true!
This recipe looks amazing! And I bet is tastes amazing too. Is it possible to avoid using cream? I'm not much into butter or any cream, maybe cause in Italian cuisine there is not much use of it @cecicastor
The coconut cream just adds coconut flavor. It is not the same as a dairy cream which I can not eat. My family eats the butter. I often substitute coconut oil or avocado oil in my cooking.
What a delicious sounding recipe! Thanks for sharing it!
Thanks for checking it out, @wandrnrose7. How are the headaches and sciatica? I hope they stay away.
I love pumpkin and curry recipes specially druting the cold season. Will definitely try this as soon as the autumn started Here in the sunny Spain.

I love your recipes..keep posting
Thank you!
most welcome mr.cecicastor
oemgeee i was looking for a recipe like this! i have a lot of pumpkin puree left from last year frozen. how many cups would you say the small pumpkin produces? thank you for this!
im going to use tofu instead of turkey
Tofu works well if you toss in cornstarch first and fry it with some spices. Otherwise it is soggy. About two cups of frozen pumpkin should work out okay.
@cecicastor awesomesauce! thank you for the tip and can't wait to try it. woo hooo
