Ingredients

  • 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
  • cup apple juice
  • pinch salt
  • pinch black pepper optional
  • small handful fresh coriander / cilantro diced

Instructions

  • 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!

Notes

  • 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.
