Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make pilaf with turkey in a frying pan? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. Take turkey meat without bones. It is best to use fillets. For pilaf, use long-grain rice so that it does not boil too much.
Step 2:
Cut the turkey fillet into small pieces. Pour a little vegetable oil into a hot frying pan and put the chopped meat. Fry the turkey for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
Step 3:
While the meat is frying, prepare the vegetables. Peel the onions and carrots and rinse them in running water from dirt. Cut the onion into cubes, and the onion into half rings.
Step 4:
Add chopped vegetables to the pan to the meat. Stir and fry everything together for another 2-3 minutes. A characteristic aroma will appear from the vegetables.
Step 5:
Pour some hot water, cover the pan with a lid and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes.
Step 6:
Rinse the rice several times in cold water and put it in the pan with the meat.
Step 7:
Top up the remaining amount of hot water. Add cumin and turmeric. Add a little salt and ground pepper to taste. To make the cumin more fragrant, rub it with your hands.
Step 8:
Cover the pan with a lid and cook the pilaf over low heat for 20-25 minutes. During cooking, the rice will absorb all the water and become soft. If necessary, you can add a little more water. But just a little bit, otherwise the rice will not be crumbly.
Step 9:
Turkey pilaf is ready! Put it on plates and serve it to the table! Bon appetit!
