Method

  1. Rinse the buckwheat2, cover with 140 ml salted water, bring to a boil, then simmer covered on low heat for 15 minutes until the liquid is absorbed.

  2. Slice the turkey1 into ½-inch-wide strips, cut the onion3 into half-rings, and finely chop the dill8.

  3. Heat the oil in a skillet over high heat, sear the turkey1 for 5 minutes, stirring, until golden brown.

  4. Add the onion3, reduce heat to medium, and cook for 4 minutes until softened.

  5. Sprinkle with flour, stir, and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the yogurt mixed with mustard and 50 ml water, season with salt and pepper, then warm through for 3–4 minutes without boiling until the turkey1 is fully cooked.

  6. Spoon the buckwheat2 onto plates, top with the turkey1 and sauce, and garnish with dill8.

Tips

Why it works
Cut turkey into thin strips so it cooks evenly in 5 minutes and stays tender without drying out. Overthick strips will stay raw inside.
Substitutions
Use 70g of kefir instead of yogurt for a tangier taste. Replace buckwheat with 70g cooked quinoa if unavailable.
Common mistakes
If the sauce curdles, you boiled it. Keep heat low and stir constantly; it should thicken gently, not bubble.
Storing and reheating
Eat fresh or within 2 days. Reheat in a pan with 10ml water for 2 minutes to loosen the sauce.
Serve with
Pair with a simple cucumber-tomato salad for a light, protein-rich dinner on a warm day.
