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.

Yummy 😋

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!

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.

Just graceful :)

Thank you! What did you find graceful about it?

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!

Latin America changes your taste buds!!!!

It does for sure! We love our spice now!

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, :)
