Preparation
Step 1
The best choice for this recipe is turkey breast fillet. You can use any spices to your taste.
Step 2
Cut the turkey breast fillet into portion-sized pieces about ¾ inch (2 cm) thick. Do not slice too thinly, or the meat will dry out instead of frying.
Step 3
Sprinkle the fillet pieces on both sides with salt, ground pepper, paprika, and curry. Rub the spices into the meat and let it rest for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 4
Use a wide pan for frying so that the meat can be arranged in a single layer. Heat the pan well, add oil, and place the prepared turkey fillet slices in. In the hot oil, the meat will start changing color immediately—this is normal.
Step 5
Flip the meat and let it brown on the other side. This will seal in the juices. Fry for 5-7 minutes, turning the pieces a few times. The exact time depends on your stove, the pan used, and the thickness of the meat.
Step 6
Cover the pan with a lid, lower the heat slightly, and cook for 2-3 more minutes. Turkey cooks quickly, so don’t worry—it will be fully cooked.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked turkey fillet to a plate, serve with fresh vegetables, and enjoy hot. Bon appétit!
