Clean and cut the turkey breast.

Season the turkey with diced onions, bay leaves, curry powder, thyme, seasoned powder, and salt; mix together.

Marinate the turkey overnight or start cooking immediately.

Arrange bell peppers, tomatoes, and garlic in a baking pan; sprinkle with oil.

Bake the vegetables in the oven for about 30 minutes.

Allow the roasted vegetables to cool, then transfer them to a blender.

Peel the garlic and add it to the blender with the roasted vegetables; blend until smooth.

Add garlic and ginger paste to the marinated turkey; cover and cook on low heat for 10 minutes in its own juices.

After 10 minutes, stir the turkey and add enough water to cook it; cover and cook until ready, about 25 minutes.

In a pan, heat oil and add garlic and onions to flavor the oil.

Add the cooked turkey to the pan and fry until golden brown on both sides; remove and set aside.

In a pot, add some of the strained oil used for frying the turkey and heat it up.

Add diced onions to the hot oil and stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes.

Add the blended pepper mix to the pot and stir; rinse the blender with a little water and add that as well.

Cover and fry the pepper mix for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Once the oil starts to settle on top, skim off some excess oil from the stew.

Add the turkey stock, bay leaves, thyme, curry powder, and salt to the stew; stir to combine.

Cover and cook on low heat to avoid burning.

Add the fried turkey to the stew and stir; adjust seasoning if needed.

If the stew is too thick, loosen it with water or leftover stock.

Cover and cook for another 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
