Sweet and Spicy Curry with Chickpeas

By: Marcia 
"One of my clients gave me a shorter version of this recipe before I left work for the day. Added a couple of things to it and loved it. Thanks a lot, Laurie. You were right -- good meal! This sauce goes well with rice or with pita bread. What's great about this recipe is you can add as much spice as you would like. "

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 pounds ground turkey thigh meat
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, pressed
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained

  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
