Place a large non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat and spray with low-calorie cooking spray. Add the onion and peppers and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes or until starting to soften and brown slightly. Stir in the curry powder, ginger and garlic, and cook for 1-2 minutes.

Add the tomatoes and stock, then bring to the boil over a high heat and bubble for 5 minutes.

Turn the heat down to low, then add the turkey and potatoes. After stirring, cook for 6-8 minutes to heat everything through.

Season lightly, then top with the chopped coriander and add the sprigs to garnish.

Top turkey tip: If you prefer a creamier curry, sprinkle ground cumin or cinnamon over some fat-free natural yogurt and add a dollop when serving.

Ready in 55 minutes

Preheat your oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4.

Spray a large non-stick frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and put it over a medium-high heat. Add the leeks, mushrooms and onion, and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened.

Stir in the cornflour and mustard powder, and cook for a further minute. Increase the heat to medium-high and stir in the stock. Blitz 2 ladlefuls of the mixture using a stick blender or food processor until smooth, then return to the pan.

Stir through the turkey, then bring to a simmer until piping hot. Remove from the heat and stir through the parsley and lemon juice. Season to taste.

Tip the mixture into a large pie or gratin dish. Tear the filo sheets in half, then scrunch and put on top to cover the pie filling evenly. Spray with low-calorie cooking spray and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden and crisp and the filling is bubbling.

At the same time, boil the beans for 3-4 minutes, then drain. Divide the pie between 4 bowls and serve hot, with the beans.
