How to cook turkey goulash with gravy?

Goulash is a dish of Hungarian cuisine. This is a thick, spicy, meat soup, but in our country goulash has taken root more as a second course, served with a side dish.

Traditional goulash is made from veal or beef, but today we will break away from tradition and learn how to cook turkey goulash.

To prepare you will need: turkey fillet and breast, carrots, garlic, onions, tomato paste and vegetable oil. The remaining ingredients are added according to the recipe.

Turkey goulash - basic cooking principles

Turkey goulash can be prepared with gravy or sauce. Basically, tomato paste, ketchup, sour cream or mayonnaise are used for this.

Wash the turkey meat, dry it and cut it into short strips. The meat is fried until it turns white and placed in a separate bowl.

Vegetables are peeled, washed and cut into small pieces. Place carrots in the frying pan where the meat was fried, fry for about five minutes, then lay out the rest of the vegetables and cook for a few more minutes.

The vegetable mixture is salted, peppered, seasoned with spices and tomato paste is added, the vegetables are mixed and fried until soft. Add the meat, stir, add chopped garlic, pour boiling water so that the water covers the meat, and simmer for 30 minutes. Shortly before the end of cooking, add chopped herbs.

Turkey goulash with gravy in a slow cooker

To save cooking time, you can use a multicooker. To prepare turkey goulash with gravy in a slow cooker you will need:

• Turkey fillet – 600 g.
• Onions – 2 pcs.
• Carrots – 1 pc.
• Wheat flour – 3 tbsp.
• Medium fat sour cream – 3 tbsp.
• Spicy ketchup – 1 tbsp.
• Vegetable oil for frying.
• Bay leaf.
• Salt/pepper to taste.

Cooking method:

• The most important thing in cooking goulash is to prepare the meat properly. It's better to use fillet. It needs to be defrosted and thoroughly washed with water, remove the skin and tendons. Pat turkey dry with paper towel and cut into small pieces. Salt and pepper.
• Grease the multicooker bowl with vegetable oil. Place turkey pieces. Set the “Baking” mode on the control panel. Cook with the lid open for 25 minutes.
• Peel the onion and cut into half rings. Wash the carrots, peel and grate on a coarse grater. Stir the vegetables and add them to the slow cooker with the turkey 10 minutes before the end of cooking.
• Sprinkle the ingredients with sifted flour on top (can be replaced with starch). Stir everything with a wooden spatula to prevent lumps from appearing. The more flour you add, the thicker the goulash will be.
• To make turkey goulash even tastier, you need to prepare a sauce for it. To do this, mix ketchup, sour cream and a little water and salt in a separate bowl. Pour sauce over turkey meat and vegetables. For taste, you can add a bay leaf (the main thing is to remember to remove it before serving the dish).
• Set the “Stew” option on the multicooker panel for 30 minutes, leave the lid still open. Mix all ingredients with a wooden spatula.

Ready goulash is best served hot. The dish looks tasty and unusual with buckwheat porridge, suitable for both a family dinner and a festive lunch with friends.

Turkey goulash - tips and tricks from chefs

• Goulash is prepared only from the pulp, so remove all membranes, skin and cartilage before cooking.
• To preserve the juiciness of the meat, first fry it over high heat on all sides, and only then start simmering.
• If you are preparing goulash with vegetables, then ideally there should be as much of them as there is meat.
• It is better to cook goulash in cast iron or thick-walled dishes.
• Instead of broth or water, you can use natural dry wine, this will give your dish a specific taste.
• Flour or starch is used as a thickener.
• Goulash is an independent dish, but more often it is served with a side dish. It can be potatoes, pasta or porridge, but boiled rice goes best with goulash.
