- 2 turkey fillets (size for preference for 2 people)
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ white onion diced
- 1 garlic clove minced or finely diced
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder
- 1 cm fresh ginger diced
- 1 medium sweet potato cubed
- 1 bell pepper diced
- 1.5 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- ⅓ cup apple juice
- pinch salt
- pinch black pepper optional
- small handful fresh coriander / cilantro diced
In a large skillet, fry the turkey in a little olive oil until thoroughly cooked through (internal temperature of 165F). Set aside the turkey on a plate.
In the same pan, add a little more olive if required and fry the onion, garlic and spices until the onion is softened, about 5-6 minutes. Add the sweet potato and bell pepper, vegetable or chicken broth and apple juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a light simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the turkey to the pan and simmer for 10 minutes. If the sauce seems too thick add a little more broth or apple juice.
Serve the turkey stew with rice, season with salt and pepper (if using) and sprinkle on some coriander. Enjoy!
- Be sure to brown the turkey in a pan before adding the other ingredients.
- Cut the vegetables into bite-size pieces.
- If you prefer extra spice, then add more ginger or cardamom. Go easy on the cardamom as it is quite pungent.
