Turkey Vatapa Soup
I discovered this recipe years ago when i had a whole left over turkey breast from honey baked ham store, and some beer that we were not going to drink. This recipe filled the void perfectly!
I’ve updated and changed it over the years, but think it’s a great way to use up left over turkey and beer!

Instructions
- Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté 2 minutes. Add ginger and jalapeño; sauté 30 seconds. Stir in water, tomatoes, and beer; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes.
- Place peanuts in a spice or coffee grinder; process until finely ground. Add ground peanuts, turkey, and coconut milk to pan, stirring to combine. Increase heat to medium. Bring mixture to a simmer; cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in parsley, cilantro, juice, salt, and black pepper. Garnish with cilantro sprigs, if desired.
Notes
- Mincing the onion and immersion blending the can of tomatoes to overcome the texture issue of the hubby! Also added a second 1/2 cup of coconut milk to tame the heat.

Different beers, adding diced chilies, etc.
I find getting the jalapenos and onions cooked fully help the soup to be best.
