Turkey Spinach Korma

Thanks to my latest wagjag grocery splurge, I have quite a bit of extra lean ground turkey on hand.  I normally use it for my egg-white muffins ( a variation of my mini frittatas but I use egg whites, lean ground meat, and whatever veggies I can find) since I eat these as an afternoon snack daily. Today though, I was on the lookout for a healthy dinner to use some of it up.  Something easy that I could add to the menu rotation.  I do believe I found a winner with this recipe.  It's quick to put together, kid-friendly, healthy, and was a hit with the family, so it's a winner in my books.  Thanks Food Network for another great weeknight meal!
