  • Gather your ingredients. Cut the turkey into small cubes and fry it in hot vegetable oil until lightly golden. Cook it over high heat so it stays juicy and tender. While the turkey cooks, prep the vegetables. Wash, peel, and finely dice the carrot. Peel and dice the onion. Use a non-bitter variety of eggplant to skip the pre-soaking step; if your eggplant does have that characteristic bitterness, dice it, cover it with salted water for 15–20 minutes, then squeeze it well before using. Wash the eggplant and cut it into small cubes. Wash the bell pepper, remove the core and seeds, and dice the flesh. Do the same with the tomatoes. Turn the heat down and add the vegetables to the turkey one at a time. Start with the carrot and fry it for five minutes, stirring with a spatula, then add the onion and fry another five minutes. Do the same in turn with the eggplant, bell pepper, and tomatoes. Toward the end, add the tomato paste, soy sauce, sugar, salt, and ground black pepper to taste. Stir, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes. Uncover and add water — how much depends on how thick you want the sauce. Keep the meat and vegetables going for another five minutes. If the sauce seems too thin, thicken it with the wheat flour: sprinkle the tablespoon in a little at a time, stirring with the spatula as you go so it doesn't clump. Bring the sauce to a boil and turn off the heat. Serve with any side you like — mashed potatoes or rice both work well. Enjoy!
