Yes I know. Another savoury recipe with fruits. I promise I'll try to stop for a while, can't be that good for the teeth, plus I am turning my children into total sugar addicts and I must be boring you out of your tastebuds. But (there is always a but with me as Olivier knows so well), this recipe is so easy to make and so cheap. And that thick sweet sauce with a tad of bity curry and spinach is such a nice little weekly treat. One last time. Until next month.

Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large, non stick pan. Add the shallots and turkey chunks and sauté for 5-6 minutes on all sides over medium heat, until browned and cooked through. Take out of the pan and reserve.
Add the spinach to the pan and sauté for 2 minutes, until the leaves are just wilted.
Whiz the apricot and apple juice together, season to taste and pour into the pan with the spinach. Add the turkey back into the pan, mix and simmer for a couple of minutes.
Serve immediately with rice.
Pour the apple juice into a small saucepan, toss in the apricots and curry and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer on low heat for 20 minutes.

Try this recipe with chicken or firm flesh fish such as monkfish or salmon, it is also delicious!
