Method

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss together sweet potato, turnip, 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast in preheated oven until bottom sides of sweet potato and turnip are browned in spots and just tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high. Add shallot, ginger, garlic, lemongrass, chiles, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until shallot mixture is very fragrant and lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add curry paste, stirring to coat shallot mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Whisk in broth and coconut milk until combined and smooth. Bring to a simmer over medium, stirring occasionally. Stir in lime juice, fish sauce, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Stir sweet potato mixture, spinach, and turkey into coconut milk mixture in skillet. Cook over medium, stirring gently, until spinach is wilted and turkey is heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Season with additional lime juice to taste. Ladle curry evenly into 4 shallow bowls, and garnish with basil leaves.
