This tender turkey stew is pure comfort food: soft potatoes and golden-seared turkey simmered gently in a creamy sour cream sauce with dill. It is a simple, hearty weeknight dinner that fills the kitchen with a warm aroma and tastes even better the next day.
Ingredients
- 600 g (1.3 lb) turkey fillet
- 800 g (1.75 lb) potatoes
- 1 carrot
- 1 onion
- 200 g (7 oz) sour cream (20% fat)
- Fresh dill to taste
- Salt to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Cut the turkey into strips and the potatoes into cubes; slice the carrot and onion into quarters.
- Mix the sour cream with salt and chopped dill.
- Heat oil in a large skillet, season the turkey lightly with salt, and sear over high heat until golden.
- Add the onion and carrot; cook until the onion turns golden.
- Reduce the heat, stir in the sour cream, add the potatoes, and pour in enough water to cover the potatoes. Cover and simmer for 40 minutes, checking that the liquid does not evaporate completely.
Tips
- Sear the turkey over high heat so it stays juicy and does not release too much liquid.
- Cut the potatoes evenly so they cook at the same rate.
- Check the liquid during simmering and add a splash of water if the stew starts to dry out.
