How to cook a delicious turkey in sour cream sauce?

And although turkey is not considered a traditional dish of Russian cuisine, it is cooked in almost every home. Experienced hostesses share with us their secrets of cooking delicious and tender turkey meat:

• It is better to buy a chilled turkey than a frozen one. Frozen meat contains a lot of water, but the beneficial properties remain less.
• The turkey can be baked whole or in portions. If you want to cook a low-calorie diet meal, then take the carcass fillet.

• When preparing turkey fillets, it should be borne in mind that this part of the bird is dryish and fibrous, so you must definitely use the sauce. Sour cream sauce is ideal.
• Turkey with sour cream sauce can be cooked in a pan, in a slow cooker and in an oven. Stew and boiled turkey meat is also very tasty.

Turkey in sour cream sauce in a slow cooker

If you don't have time to prepare dinner, you can make turkey fillets in a slow cooker. In this recipe, we will slightly move away from the classic sour cream sauce and cook the meat in a mustard-sour cream sauce.

Compound:

• 0.5 kg turkey fillet;
• sour cream - 300 g;
• 2 tbsp. l. mustard;
• 1 tbsp. l. soy sauce;
• 3-4 tbsp. l. water;
• 1 tbsp. l. flour;
• salt and pepper mixture.

Preparation:

1. Turkey fillet must first be marinated. For the marinade, mix 200 g sour cream, soy sauce, 1 tbsp. l. mustard, salt and pepper, and then stir. Rub the meat with marinade and leave for at least 1 hour.
2. As soon as our fillet is marinated, it should be placed in the multicooker bowl. You do not need to add vegetable oil - sour cream will prevent the turkey from burning.
3. We turn on the "Fry" program and fry the meat for 10 minutes on both sides.
4. Cooking the sauce: mix 100 g sour cream, 1 tbsp. l. mustard, flour and water. Mix everything well until smooth. Pour the sauce over the turkey fillet.
5. We turn on the "Stew" mode and cook the meat for 30-40 minutes. It is important to watch the sauce: if it boils away very quickly, then you need to add a little water.
6. After the time has elapsed, leave the fillet in a slow cooker for 10 minutes so that it darkens a little, and then sprinkle it with herbs. The dish is ready. Bon Appetit!
