Turkey thigh fillet in a frying pan

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to fry thigh fillet in a frying pan? Very simple. First, prepare the necessary ingredients. You can replace apple cider vinegar with regular table vinegar 6-9%. You can replace the spice mixture with a ready-made store-bought one for turkey or chicken dishes.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the turkey fillet, dry it and cut into portions. I cut it into large pieces, which then need to be cut during lunch, but you can cut the meat into small pieces.

3. STEP 3

   

   In a bowl, combine olive oil, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, paprika, black and hot pepper and nutmeg. Beat everything thoroughly with a fork or whisk.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place the prepared turkey meat in a wide bowl or pan in which it will marinate.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour the marinade over the turkey, tossing to coat each piece with the sauce. Leave the meat to marinate for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the marinade is distributed and absorbed evenly.

6. STEP 6

   

   Heat the pan over high heat. I used a cast iron grill pan to get a nice texture on the meat. True, during the frying process after adding the sauce, this pattern became difficult to see. Therefore, it was possible to fry in a regular frying pan with a thick bottom. I did not add oil to the pan. Place the turkey pieces in the pan and fry on one side until golden brown.

7. STEP 7

   

   Turn the meat over to the other side and fry until golden brown.

8. STEP 8

   

   When the bird pieces are golden brown, pour the remaining turkey marinade into the pan. Fry, turning the pieces occasionally, until excess moisture has completely evaporated. The marinade will keep the meat from drying out. While the marinade simmers, the turkey will be cooked through without becoming dry or tough.

9. STEP 9

   

   Garnish the juicy roast turkey with fresh herbs and vegetables and serve. Bon appetit!
