Soup’s On! This #sundaysupper #recipeshare comes from the kitchen of our Community and Events Manager Nicole. It is so easy there are no real directions..Just oven-roast quartered tomatoes, red peppers, onions and a few cloves of garlic with some olive oil until they start to get some colour.Add roasted veggies to good quality vegetable stock with fresh basil and thyme. Use an immersion blender after the veggies have roasted to get a smooth but rich consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste.If you want to make the soup a little creamier add some heavy cream but it’s also not necessary.Voilà - Roasted Tomato Red Pepper Soup. Visit your nearest Farmer’s Market and find your next soup inspiration. ..#albertafoodtours #eatalbertafirst #foodartisansofalberta #albertafoodfinder #foodtour #albertafoodie #yegfoodie #yyc #yycfood #calgarynow #calgarylife #yycfoodie #travelalberta #explorealberta

Sometimes a recipe can look daunting. So, Karen took to Tik Tok to show you just easy our #tastytuesday Cinnamon Roasted Turkey is to prepare. We’ve included the recipe once more in hopes you’ll really give it a try with your leftover turkey.
Cinnamon Roasted Turkey
4 - 6 servings
PREP TIME
30 minutes
COOKING TIME
45 - 60 minutes
INGREDIENTS
1½ Tablespoons coconut oil
4- 6 Indian cinnamon leaves
10 – 12 shallots, sliced lengthwise
2 Tablespoons ginger paste
3 – 4 green chillies, seeded and sliced lengthwise
4 sprigs fresh curry leaves
1 teaspoon turmeric
2 teaspoons Kashmiri chilli powder
2 teaspoons garam masala
1 Tablespoon ground coriander powder
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt or to taste
2 cups plum tomatoes, sliced lengthwise
1 kg turkey leftovers, cubed
4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ cup coconut milk
METHOD
1. Heat oil in a thick bottomed pan and add the cinnamon leaves, sliced shallots, ginger, green chillies and curry leaves. Cook and stir until the shallots change to dark brown in colour – about 10 – 15 minutes.
2. Stir in the turmeric, chilli powder, garam masala, coriander and pepper and cook a minute then add the tomatoes and salt.
3. Cook until the tomatoes get mashed and the oil leaves separates from the gravy.
4. Stir in the turkey with a little hot water as needed (to prevent sticking and help make a gravy) and mix well. Lower the heat and simmer until the flavours are well combined– about 30 minutes.
5. Finish the dish by stirring in the cinnamon and coconut milk. Heat through.
6. Enjoy with fluffy rice or mashed potato.
