Ragout of Turkey Breast with Grapes (Updated - v2)


Turkey ragout goes best with Spätzle

Preparation time: approx. 45 minutes.
If you are making Spaetzle with this, you start with that.

Preparation

For the Schnitzel, you'll need:

  • a large pan

Ingredients (for 2 persons)

  • 270 g turkey breast
  • 150 g grapes (the green ones), seedless if possible
  • Fresh Italian parsley
  • 70 to 80 g brown button mushrooms
  • 70 to 80 g oyster mushrooms
  • 250 mL cream (in German 'süße Sahne', the one you make whipped cream out of, 30% fat!)
  • 250 mL water
  • 1 onion
  • 4 to 5 Tbsp. gravy thickener for dark sauce (in Germany I'd buy Mondamin Fix Soßenbinder)
  • Oil (sunflower or similar)
  • Salt, plenty of black ground pepper

Preparation of the ingredients

Prepare the dough for the Spätzle.

Clean and cut 70-80 g each of oyster and button mushrooms into not too small pieces, chop a small onion, put both together on the side.
Wash 150 g grapes and cut them in half (remove any seeds), roughly chop some parsley. Also set aside together. Finally, cut 270 g of turkey meat into bite-sized pieces.


Frying the meat

Fry the meat cubes over a high heat in hot oil until nicely browned, then salt and pepper to taste and set aside.


Doing the sauce

Add the mushrooms and onions to the uncleaned pan and fry everything over a good medium heat for 5 minutes (add a little oil again).
Then add 250 ml each of water and cream and bring to the boil, now add 4-5 Tbsp Mondamin. Again salt and pepper to taste, don't be too shy with the pepper!

Getting there

Have it boil up again and throw in the meat and the grapes/parsley and let it boil for a minute or two.

Taco shells with stripes of turkey



Something done quickly and easily. Chez Teddy under the control of HoneyBear
The self-made Salsa could be prepared one day in advance...

Preparation:

You'll only need:
  • A pan
  • Plenty of small bowls
  • A cheese grater

Ingredients (for 2 persons)

  • 400 g Turkey filet
  • 3 small tomatoes
  • 200 g Cheddar
  • 1 Avocado
  • 4 spring onions (the stems are needed, not the little onions, nor the green leaves)
  • ⅓ iceberg lettuce
  • Creme Fraiche
  • A handfull of black olives
  • ½ can Refried Beans
  • Ready-mix Fajita spices and
    75 millilitres water
  • Hot Chili Sauce or Hot Mama Sauce or similar
  • You should do this Salsa (has to be prepared one day in advance, better two days even)
  • 12 Taco Shells

Preparation of the main ingredients

Dice the tomatoes, grate the cheddar, cut the spring onions and the avocado in small pieces. Put all that plus the olives each in little bowls. Put the refried beans in a bowl and heat them up in the micro wave. Then you can put all that together with the Creme Fraiche on the dining table.

Frying the meat

Cut the meat in thin stripes and quick fry them in a pan. When they get golden brown, add the ready-mix and stir well. Again quick fry for a short time. Add the water and reduce until the liquid has almost completely diappeared and it is just covering the stripes.
This is fun to eat, the more people, the better
