I wonder if the curdled milk is a sub for coconut milk?

The curdled milk mostly provides consistency for the sauce, which is quite flavourful as is. Coconut milk would work, though.

This looks like a good recipe. Does the turkey pretty much take on the stronger flavors of the spices? I get tired of just the taste of turkey and don't serve it that often. But it's so healthy I'd like to find other things to do with it.

Yes, notice a lot of the spices used here are ingredients of curry. Peanut butter makes a lovely compliment. You'll taste the turkey, but it's not that typical leftover roast turkey flavour, and stir-frying gives it a different texture.
