Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make turkey with eggplant? First of all, prepare all the products listed on the list. I used turkey thigh for this recipe, but you can also use turkey breast.

Step 2

Step 2
Prepare the eggplants. Rinse the blue ones under running water, cut off the tails. Cut into small cubes or semicircles. Sprinkle with salt, stir and leave for 15-20 minutes. This way you will remove the bitterness.

Rinse the eggplants from salt and squeeze out excess liquid. Place in the pan in which the onions were fried. Stirring, cook over moderate heat until done. Place the fried pieces on a napkin to remove excess fat.

Step 7
Place the meat into the frying pan. Cover with a lid and cook over low heat for about 30 minutes (until the turkey is fully cooked). After a while, open the lid of the pan and check if the pieces are burning. If necessary, add a little water (30-40 ml.). At the end of cooking, open the lid, increase the flame slightly and bring the pieces until golden brown.
