Ingredients for Easy Turkey Skillet Dinner

• 500 g turkey fillet;
• 1 eggplant;
• 1-2 red bell peppers;
• 1 onion;
• 1 garlic clove;
• 30 ml oil for frying;
• salt, spices to your taste;
• fresh herbs to serve.

How to cook turkey breast with vegetables:

• Rinse the turkey fillet under cold running water and pat it with paper towels until dry. Cut into medium-sized cubes (do not make the cubes too small, as they can turn out too dry). Season meat cubes with salt and black pepper, and let them sit for 10 minutes to incorporate all the flavors before cooking.

• Peel all the dry skin from the onion. Wash it together with bell peppers. Chop onion into fine pieces. Cut bell peppers in half, get rid of all the seeds, and then cut the parts into thin slices.

• Cut cleaned eggplant into pieces. I chose to make slices thin for vegetables to cook through evenly. I prefer not to peel eggplant, in such a way it won’t lose its form while cooking.

• Heat oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Place turkey breast cubes and cook them for 5 minutes (do not forget to turn the pieces, as the sides need to cook evenly). Add all the vegetables and extra seasoning (choose the type of herbs and spices to your taste; mine will be thyme or oregano). Continue cooking on medium heat for an additional 5 minutes.

• In 5 minutes, lower the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and stew vegetables with meat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. In the end, press one garlic clove into the skillet and cook the dish for an additional minute. Take the skillet from the heat. If there is not enough juice from vegetables for stewing turkey breast, add 2-3 tablespoons of boiled water (or if you have any spare broth left). Cook the mixture until the necessary consistency.

• Serve turkey stew sprinkled over with chopped fresh herbs.

I like to prepare turkey breast this way rather than just frying it in the pan because it keeps the meat very juicy. Whenever I make this turkey stew, I toss in whatever vegetables I have on hand from the fridge or my garden. Remember to include herbs and spices, as they make the stew even more delicious.
