Cabbage stewed with turkey in a slow cooker. Stewed cabbage with turkey in a slow cooker Turkey with cabbage and mushrooms in a slow cooker
Cooking in a slow cooker is not difficult and, moreover, very convenient from the point of view of planning cooking time. The multicooker brings any dish to readiness according to the set timer, and you no longer need to be on duty at the stove, monitoring the process and its completion. For example, stewed dishes in their great variety, it makes sense to cook exclusively in a slow cooker.
One such recipe is stewed cabbage with turkey. The dish is nutritious, it contains both vegetables and meat, it can be made dietary by using less fat in cooking, because turkey is very appropriate in this regard. By adding different ingredients, you can also slightly diversify the taste, and choose the version that will be most delicious to you.
The basic recipe for stewed cabbage with turkey contains the following ingredients:
· Turkey meat, it is better to use the breast, but the drumstick is also quite suitable - 500 g.
· White cabbage - half a medium head of cabbage - about 1 kg.
· Carrots - 2 medium carrots.
· Onion - 1 large onion.
· Tomatoes - 3-4 medium tomatoes.
· Vegetable oil
· Salt, ground allspice, ground bay leaf, basil.
We start cooking with turkey meat. We wash the fillet, let it drain and cut it into oblong, medium-sized pieces.
Peel the onions, wash them, cut them into small cubes and mix with the turkey meat. Pour vegetable oil into the multicooker pan and place the meat and onions. If the multicooker model allows cooking with the lid open, then the first stage of cooking takes place in an open container in the “Baking” mode for 15 minutes. The meat has time to grab hold and become saturated with onion juice. It's worth stirring it a couple of times, because... When the lid is open, the multicooker works like a frying pan.
While the meat is roasting, we work on the carrots and cabbage. Here the procedure is standard: clean, wash, cut. Cut the carrots into small cubes or sticks, and don’t chop the cabbage into small pieces, but don’t leave large fragments either.
Pour the vegetables into the pan and switch the mode to “Stew” with a timer for 2 hours. Close the lid.
The tomatoes are the last to be cooked. Before cutting, blanch them with boiling water and remove the skin. Then we put it in the form of small cubes into the pan. Tomatoes can be replaced with 4 tablespoons of tomato paste. Next, add all the necessary spices, mix and leave to simmer until the multicooker signals the end of the specified time.
This dish can be varied and filled with new flavors.
If you need a more satisfying meal, then potatoes are added, which can take up to 1/5 of all ingredients. It should also be cut into cubes and added after cabbage and carrots. Beans will also make the dish filling. The most appropriate would be red beans, which must first be soaked and boiled until almost ready. It is also added last, after which the dish cooks for about another hour. Canned beans are also quite suitable for this purpose.
To make the dish lighter, zucchini, any variety, will do. We clean the zucchini from all excess, cut it into large cubes and put it in cooking before the tomatoes. Pumpkin can also perform the same role.
The bell pepper will add piquancy to the stewed cabbage soup. To fill a serving you will need 3-4 medium sized peppers. We cut it into cubes or short strips. We also add after cabbage or carrots.
Mushrooms will add another dimension of piquancy and taste to the hodgepodge. If these are wild mushrooms, then it is better if they are pre-boiled in salted water. Champignons or oyster mushrooms should be doused with boiling water and not cut too finely. Mushrooms are added to the process of preparing hodgepodge before cabbage and carrots, as soon as the meat has finished frying.
To decorate stewed solyanka with turkey, thinly sliced pickled or pickled cucumber and parsley leaves are perfect!
