Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
I had a turkey shank steak, I just cut it into small pieces.
Step 2:
If you know that the stewed turkey will not be eaten by children, season it with ground pepper and spices. Do not forget to add salt to taste. Leave to marinate.
Step 3:
Meanwhile, we will take care of the vegetables that will participate in the extinguishing. Chop the onion arbitrarily, you can cut it into small pieces (then the gravy will be thicker, and the onion will not be visible).
Step 4:
Carrots can be put on a large grater. And you can cut it so that a nice bright accent appears in the dish.
Step 5:
If you cook with a roast, pour quite a bit of oil on the bottom of the bowl, send onions and carrots here. Fry for a quarter of an hour in the "frying" mode. I did it differently – I put carrots and onions in the oil, and cooked under the lid in the "baking" mode for 10 minutes. Do not forget to stir with a spatula!
Step 6:
In order for the finished dish to have a more finished taste, you can also fry the meat. This is done simply – select the vegetables from the bowl, and fry the meat separately, then combine everything and continue further. Or fry everything together. But I didn't fry, so I just put pieces of turkey meat with onions and carrots and cooked for 10 minutes under the lid in the "baking" mode.
Step 7:
After that, you can set the "quenching" mode for an hour and a half, put a bay leaf, crushed and crushed garlic, pour in water (I boiled it) and sour cream. The recipe contains 0.5 cups of water, but this is conditional – the volume of the bowl of your slow cooker may be different, so look at the situation so that the meat is stewed and there is more gravy. It's the same with sour cream – you can put more of it and then add tomato juice or tomato paste to add flavor to the meat and
Step 8:
As soon as the program informs about the end of the process, serve the stewed turkey hot or leave it on the "preheating" mode. If the meat comes with a side dish, pour gravy over it. Separately, you can serve it like this, only meat.
And more tips
Turkey can be stewed in its own juice, with vegetables, mushrooms, with dairy products.
Turkey is a large bird, the whole is unlikely to fit in a slow cooker. Therefore, it is better to divide it into convenient parts for eating.
For extinguishing in a slow cooker, you can choose any part. But white meat, drumsticks, wings, etc. have different tastes and calories.
Skinning a bird or not is a matter of taste. Many do not take them off to give the dish a more appetizing look. But we must remember that it contains a lot of fat.
Don't forget to wash the meat before cooking in cold water and dry it in a convenient way.
Stewed turkey will still be delicious, even if you bypass the frying process. After all, you will add delicious spices to it.
But if you know what children will eat, exclude spices and frying.
