Braised turkey pieces

Steps5

1. 1

   Step 1. Brown the turkey

   8 min

   Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Season turkey pieces with salt and pepper, then brown on all sides until golden, about 6-8 minutes total. Remove and set aside.

   Don't overcrowd the pan; brown in batches if needed for better color.

   Step 2. Sauté the vegetables

   In the same pan, add sliced onion and bell peppers. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

   Step 3. Build the sauce

   2 min

   Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes. Pour in chicken stock and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

   Diced tomatoes work well here too if you prefer a chunkier sauce.

   Step 4. Braise the turkey

   27m 30s

   Return the browned turkey pieces to the pan, nestling them into the sauce. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes until turkey is cooked through and tender.

   Check occasionally and add a splash of water if the sauce reduces too much.
