Flecks of cilantro stems don't just make these turkey patties look pretty, they also add a ton of flavour. Tikka sauce blends beautifully with cream cheese to give this curry a velvety texture without the heaviness.

Preparation
1
Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
To a medium pot, add 1 cup (2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
Meanwhile, using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 12-14 min, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
2
Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
While the pan heats, thinly slice parsley stems.
To a medium bowl, add turkey, parsley stems and half the garlic salt. Season with pepper, then combine.
Form mixture into four 1/2-inch-thick patties (8 patties for 4 servings).
When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then swirl until melted.
Add turkey patties. Pan-fry for 3-4 min per side, until cooked through.**
Remove from heat. Transfer patties to a plate.
3
Meanwhile, cut half the lemon (use whole lemon for 4 servings) into wedges.
Roughly chop parsley.
Roughly chop spinach.
Cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces.
4
When patties are done, with the pan still off heat, stir in cream cheese, half the tikka sauce (use all for 4 servings) and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water.
Return the pan to medium. Bring to a simmer, stirring often to combine.
Once simmering, stir in tomatoes. Simmer for 1-2 min, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly.
Add spinach. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until wilted.
Season with pepper and remaining garlic salt.
5
Return turkey patties to the pan. Gently stir to warm through, 1 min. (TIP: If sauce gets too thick, add water, 1 tbsp at a time, until you reach desired consistency.)
Season with salt and pepper.
6
Add half the parsley to the pot with rice, then fluff with a fork. (TIP: Add 1 tbsp [2 tbsp] butter, then fluff until melted, if desired.)
