This rich and creamy tomatoey Butter Turkey is spiced just right
— not too much, and not too little. While similar to the
British creation, tikka masala, Butter Turkey is inspired by butter chicken, which actually hails
from India. And when you pair it with fragrant basmati
rice, this meal is special enough for company.
