Tandoori Turkey with Mint Yogurt Sauce

Ontario turkey thighs or breasts are marinated until tender in this classic marinade of garlic, ginger and curry paste. Prepared grilled or oven roasted, the bold flavours of tandoori and cooling mint yogurt sauce are sure to please. Plan for leftovers and serve on fresh Naan with lettuce and shredded apples for a nutritious lunchtime treat.
