Ingredients for Light Turkey and Onion Stew
- 1.1 lbs turkey (cut into small pieces)
- 4 yellow onion
- 1 glass dry white wine
- 1 glass water
- to taste chili pepper
- to taste salt
- to taste paprika (optional)
Tools
- Bowl
- Knife
- Glass
- High-sided saucepan
Preparation of Light Turkey and Onion Stew
Wash and peel the onions and slice them into medium thickness slices. I buy the stew meat already cut into pieces from the butcher, and if they are large, I cut them into smaller pieces (see photo).
Take a high-sided saucepan and pour in 3 tablespoons of oil, the chili pepper, and if desired, paprika (optional), heat it up and add the turkey pieces.
Brown the turkey, then add the sliced onions and let them soften for 5 minutes with a glass of white wine. Also add salt.
When the onions have softened, pour a glass of hot water into the saucepan, cover with a lid, and cook over low heat for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes of cooking, remove the lid from the saucepan and cook for another 30 minutes over medium heat.
Finally, caramelize the sauce over high heat and you will see a delicious and creamy sauce form as in the photo. Serve hot.
Notes and Tips
The recipe is light, but if you want an even creamier sauce, you can flour the turkey pieces before cooking them.
