Juicy, Tender Skillet Turkey

Cooking method

1. Step 1:

   

   This is a really simple recipe with just a few ingredients. I use turkey thigh fillet, but you can make it the same way with drumstick or breast fillet. I use fresh meat; if yours is frozen, thaw it first at room temperature. Use a medium onion. For seasoning I use salt and pepper, but you can add bay leaf, allspice, or your favorite spices.

2. Step 2:

   

   Rinse the turkey under cold running water and pat it dry. Cut it into small pieces.

3. Step 3:

   

   Heat a skillet over high heat, add the vegetable oil, and add the cut-up turkey. Sear the meat on all sides over high heat until it changes color.

4. Step 4:

   

   Peel the onions and cut them into half-moons. Add them to the seared meat. Add salt and pepper and stir. Cook over medium heat for 15–20 minutes, uncovered, stirring constantly.

5. Step 5:

   

   After 15 minutes the meat is done: tender, with the onion still holding its shape and having given up all its juices to the meat. If you want the meat to fall apart into shreds (though the onion will then break down into a sauce), cover the pan and keep cooking for another 30 minutes, stirring now and then.

6. Step 6:

   

   Serve the meat hot. Many sides work well: rice, mashed potatoes, pasta, or vegetables.
