Turkey Fillet in Sour Cream Sauce

Cooking method

1. Step 1:

   

   Gather the ingredients for braising turkey fillet in sour cream. It's best to buy chilled turkey fillet rather than frozen — it holds on to more nutrients and vitamins. Rinse the fillet and cut it into small cubes, then rinse it once more to wash away any blood.

2. Step 2:

   

   Peel the onion and cut it into small cubes or half-rings.

3. Step 3:

   

   Pour a little vegetable oil into a deep, heavy-bottomed skillet — you can use olive oil instead for an even lighter, healthier dish. Turn on the heat and warm the oil. Add the onion and sauté for 7 minutes over medium heat, stirring now and then with a wooden or silicone spatula.

4. Step 4:

   

   Now add the cut-up turkey fillet to the onion in the pan. Fry the meat with the onion, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes, until the meat turns white.

5. Step 5:

   

   In a small bowl, put a few tablespoons of thick, full-fat sour cream. Add salt and ground red pepper to taste, plus any other spices or herbs you like. Pour in half a cup of water, add a tablespoon of flour, and stir until smooth so the flour doesn't clump. Then pour the sour cream mixture into the pan with the turkey.

6. Step 6:

   

   Stir, lower the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for about 25 minutes. Check on it and stir now and then. If the sauce gets too thick, add a little water, bring it back to a simmer, and turn off the heat. Let the dish rest under the lid for a few minutes, then serve.

   Pasta makes a great side for the turkey. Enjoy!
