Turkey Shreds is a quick and easy lunch to prepare. The creamy, light sauce and the poultry go very well with rice. Serve with a salad to get the vitamins you need. Precisely because the ingredients are so easy to prepare, the dish is well suited for beginners and cooks who are pressed for time. Fresh mushrooms or peas give the light sauce a bit of color and go well with the other ingredients in terms of taste.
My family likes light, creamy sauces, and poultry – this recipe combines both and makes a delicious and light lunch with a salad and rice. It is also quick to prepare, even for beginners.
Ingredients for 4 persons
– 400 gr turkey escalope
– 8 medium mushrooms
– 1 cup sour cream or crème fraîche (200 ml)
– 250ml of water
– 2 tbsp sweet soy sauce
– Paprika powder (noble sweet), salt, pepper
– 2 tbsp cornstarch
– some oil for frying
– 3 cooking bags of rice
Preparation of sliced turkey with rice and salad
First, you put the water on with the rice and salt. While the rice is cooking according to the instructions on the packaging, which usually takes about 20 minutes, cut the turkey escalope into fine strips. Put some oil in a deep pan or a larger saucepan, let it heat up, and add the turkey strips. The meat must be seared well on all sides, poultry meat should never be eaten raw. Then switch back to a medium temperature. Meanwhile, wash and slice the mushrooms. Sauté the mushrooms briefly with the meat. Mix everything with the soy sauce and paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the water and the cup of sour cream. Mix everything and mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water in a mug and stir carefully into the pot or pan, bring to a boil, and season again with salt and pepper. Now arrange the salad and drain the rice and quench it briefly – the meal is ready.
Additional knowledge
You can also use chicken breast instead of turkey. Pork doesn’t taste quite as good with it, it gets too dry. The meat should be cut into thin strips if possible, as larger pieces of meat may not be completely cooked through. Instead of mushrooms, which are not to everyone’s taste, peas also go very well with this recipe.
