Pilaf with turkey in a frying pan

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. 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 fillet. For pilaf, use long-grain rice so that it does not overcook.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the turkey fillet into small pieces. Pour a little vegetable oil into a hot frying pan and add the chopped meat. Fry the turkey for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.

3. STEP 3

   

   While the meat is roasting, prepare the vegetables. Peel the onions and carrots and rinse them in running water to remove any dirt. Cut the onion into cubes and the onion into half rings.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add chopped vegetables to the frying pan with the meat. Stir and fry everything together for another 2-3 minutes. The vegetables will develop a characteristic aroma.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add a little hot water, cover the pan with a lid and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Rinse the rice several times in cold water and place it in a frying pan with the meat.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add 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.

8. 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 won’t be crumbly.

9. STEP 9

   

   Turkey pilaf is ready! Place it on plates and serve! Bon appetit!

I haven’t tried cooking pilaf with turkey, but I often cook it with chicken.

Lately I've been enjoying cooking pilaf in a frying pan. With this method, the rice is steamed evenly, and in general the dish cooks faster. Out of habit, I chopped the onion finely, but the carrots into large cubes. The meat and vegetables were cooked for about thirty minutes. With rice, about another twenty minutes. I love pilaf for how quickly it cooks) I didn’t have cumin, but I added turmeric. Thanks to her, the turkey pilaf in the frying pan turned out yellow and appetizing. I like to add pepper directly from the grinder; I have several types of pepper in it. It's not very spicy, but it has a wonderful aroma. The pilaf turned out juicy, satisfying, and delicious! Thanks for the recipe!
