Method

  1. Preparation: rinse the buckwheat2 in cold water; peel the onion5 and dice it into about 1 cm cubes; cut the zucchini3 into roughly 2 cm cubes; cut the pepper into strips about 2 cm wide; heat a large skillet (about 28 cm) over medium heat.

  2. Sauté the turkey1 cubes over medium heat for 6 minutes until the meat is golden and edges are cooked, stirring as needed.

  3. Add the onion5 to the turkey1 and continue frying for 2 minutes, then add the zucchini3 and pepper and fry for another 7 minutes, stirring as needed; sprinkle with paprika and salt in the last 1–2 minutes.

  4. Cook the buckwheat2 in a separate pot: bring water to a boil, add buckwheat and simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes until soft and the water is absorbed.

  5. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.

  6. Combine the cooked buckwheat2 with the turkey1 and vegetables in a large skillet, mix and warm together over low heat for 2 minutes; serve hot.

Tips

Why it works
Rinse buckwheat to remove bitterness; cook it separately to avoid a mushy texture from excess moisture in the pan.
Substitutions
Use quinoa instead of buckwheat (70g) or swap bell pepper for carrot (70g, diced). Skip paprika for chili flakes (½ tsp).
Common mistakes
Overcook turkey. It turns dry and pale gray. Check internal temp at 74°C with a knife.
Storing and reheating
Eats best fresh but lasts 3 days. Reheat in a pan with 1 tbsp water, covered, for 3 minutes.
Serve with
Pair with a slice of rye bread and cucumber salad for a balanced lunch.
