Method
Cut the turkey1 into strips, the onion4 into half-moons, and the pepper into thin strips.
Heat oil in a deep skillet and sauté the turkey1 for 4 minutes until white with a light crust.
Add the onion4, pepper, paprika, salt, and pepper, and cook for 3 minutes, stirring.
Add the rinsed buckwheat2, pour in 160 ml hot water, stir, and cover.
Cook for 10 minutes over medium heat until the buckwheat2 is tender and has absorbed the water.
Stir in the sour5 cream, heat for 1 minute until the sauce thickens, and serve.
Tips
- Why it works
- Pour in hot water so the pan stays hot. The buckwheat starts cooking right away and absorbs the sauce in 10 minutes.
- Substitutions
- Swap the turkey for chicken breast in the same amount, it cooks just as fast. Replace 15% sour cream with 40 g of unsweetened yogurt, but stir it in without boiling.
- Common mistakes
- The most common mistake is overcooking the buckwheat. If the grains have opened and the bottom is dry before 10 minutes, take the pan off the heat and let it stand under the lid.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep for 2 days in the fridge in a closed container. Reheat in a pan with 1-2 spoonfuls of water or in the microwave under a lid.
- Serve with
- Serve for dinner with cucumbers or tomatoes to add fresh crunch to the soft buckwheat and sauce.
In short
- Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
