Cooking method
-
Step 1:
How do you make pan-fried turkey pieces? Start by gathering the ingredients. For the turkey you can use breast or, like I do, thigh meat. To me, breast comes out a little dry, so I usually go with thigh. If you like, you can swap the olive oil for a neutral, odorless vegetable oil.
-
Step 2:
Rinse the turkey under running water and pat it dry with a paper towel. Then cut the meat into pieces.
-
Step 3:
Peel the onion, rinse it, and finely chop it.
-
Step 4:
Heat a skillet until it's good and hot, then add the olive oil. Add the turkey pieces and sear them for a couple of minutes on all sides over high heat. Don't cover the pan — you want the meat to fry, not steam, so it develops a nice crust. Then lower the heat.

Step 5:
Add the chopped onion to the pan. Season with salt and spices to taste. Press in a couple of garlic cloves. For seasoning I use paprika and a ground pepper blend. Stir everything and cook over low heat for another 5–6 minutes. In that time the onion softens and the meat soaks up the spices.

Step 6:
Your pan-fried turkey is ready! Any side dish goes great with it. Divide the meat among plates and serve hot. Enjoy!
- You can swap the turkey for chicken or any other meat you like. Just keep in mind that the cooking time and the calorie count of the dish will change.
- Since everyone's tolerance for salt, sweetness, bitterness, heat, and acidity is different, always adjust the spices and seasonings to your own taste. If you're using a seasoning for the first time, go easy — some, like chili pepper, are especially easy to overdo.
- Keep in mind that the right pan matters, too: even the best recipe can be ruined by the wrong skillet.
