Ingredients for Light Turkey and Onion Stew

- 4 golden onions
- 1 glass dry white wine
- 1 glass water
- to taste chili pepper
- to taste salt
- to taste paprika (optional)

Preparation of Light Turkey and Onion Stew
Wash and peel the onions and cut them into medium-thick slices. I buy the stew already cut into pieces by the butcher, and if they are large, I cut them into smaller pieces (see photo).
Take a high-sided casserole and pour 3 tablespoons of oil, chili pepper, and if desired, paprika (optional), heat and add the turkey pieces.
Brown the turkey, then add the sliced onions and let them wilt for 5 minutes with a glass of dry white wine. Also, add salt.
When the onions have also wilted, pour a glass of hot water into the casserole, cover it with a lid, and cook on low heat for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes of cooking, remove the lid from the casserole and cook for another 30 minutes over medium heat.
Finally, glaze the stew on high heat, and you will see a delicious and creamy sauce form, as shown in the photo. Serve hot.
Notes and Tips
The recipe is light, but if you want an even creamier sauce, you can also flour the turkey pieces before cooking them.
