Stewed Turkey

Cookinero 12 Jul 2025

Stewed turkey is a doubly healthy dish. Firstly, it is prepared using a dietary and hypoallergenic product. Secondly, the turkey breast is not fried, but stewed. As you know, poultry meat often turns out dry. To avoid this, the turkey should be soaked in kefir before cooking. Then the meat will be juicy and tasty.
