Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium sweet onion , finely chopped
- 3 gloves garlic , minced
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 2 teaspoons Garam masala
- pinch cayenne pepper
- 1/3 cup pine nuts , lightly toasted
- 4 to 6 Naan bread (our homemade recipe or store bought)
- 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup fresh mint leaves , torn into small pieces
Instructions
- In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Add the onion and sauté until soft, about 3 minutes. Add in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper; cook until the liquid evaporates.
- Add turkey to the pan and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until no pink remains, about 5 minutes. Stir in the Garam masala and cayenne pepper, and cook for one more minute. Season with a dash of salt.
- Lightly toast the Naan.
- Give a good swipe of the yogurt onto each Naan, then top with some of the turkey mixture and mint.
- You can cradle the naan like a taco or eat it flat like a pizza.
