Curry Pizza

John's brother came over yesterday and I decided to make something a little more exciting for him. I made pizza with a turkey curry topping. This is an idea that stemmed from my university days - I often cooked meals in large batches and froze them in single portions to save time and money. When I got bored of eating bolognase/curry/chilli etc, I spread it over a pizza base and had a new meal! It's a fun way to use up leftovers too. Or get your kids to eat something they normally wouldn't.



For 4 individual pizzas or one large pizza -

This is what you'll need:

- Ready made pizza base/s or a box of pizza base mix
- Approximately 400g turkey breast or substitute with another meat of your choice, diced into small pieces
- 1/2 can of coconut milk or chopped tomatoes as a healthier alternative
- 3tbsp curry paste - the strength is up to you but keep in mind the coconut milk will cool it down slightly
- Other toppings - I used mushrooms and home grown cherry tomatoes - as much as I could fit on the pizzas!
- Approximately 100g your favourite cheese, grated
- 1tbsp extra virgin olive oil

This is how you do it:

1. Prepare pizza base/s according to instructions on the packet (split dough into 4 if making individual pizzas) and lay on a lightly floured baking tray, or lay ready made pizza base/s on a baking tray. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees celcius.
2. Lightly coat the bottom of a non stick pan with oil and place on a medium/high heat. Add diced turkey and fry until golden brown. Add curry paste and fry for a further couple of minutes.
3. Add coconut milk or chopped tomatoes, turn down heat and simmer until cooked through.
4. Spoon curry evenly over pizza bases and add your other toppings.
5. Sprinkle grated cheese over the top and pop in the oven until the pizza crusts are golden brown. This will take approximately 20 minutes.
6. Serve and enjoy!

I served this meal with a portion of home made chips and a beetroot and cherry tomato salad and the two boys (and myself) really enjoyed it.

Side note: If anyone decides to make a chilli con carne pizza - a dollop of creme fraiche on top is so yummy!
