Recipes with Apples

Turkey stewed with Spartan apples and sage

Spartan

This dish has a soft texture and a subtle herbal aroma. The turkey fillet is juicy and braises to create a natural sauce with the flavor of sage and the soft sweetness of apple.

The Spartan variety adds freshness and a light fruity accent. It has juicy pulp, delicate sweetness and slight sourness with a barely noticeable strawberry tint.

Turkey is one of the lightest types of meat: a source of complete protein, B vitamins and iron. It is easier to digest than fattier meats and is suitable for a balanced diet.

Apple Spartan adds dietary fiber and organic acids. During stewing, its juice softens the taste of the turkey.

  • Calories: ~220–260 kcal per serving (depending on the amount of oil)

Ingredients

  • Turkey fillet – 600 g

  • Fresh sage - 4-6 leaves
  • Olive oil - 1-2 tbsp.

Preparation

Step 1

  • Cut the turkey fillet into large pieces.

  • Lightly mash the sage leaves with your hands to release the herbal aroma.

Step 2

  • Heat a frying pan with olive oil.
  • Place the turkey in a single layer and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until lightly golden brown.
  • Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

  • Add apples and sage. Reduce heat to medium, pour in some water or broth.
  • Cover with a lid and simmer for 15–20 minutes.
  • During this time, the apples will partially release their juice, forming a natural sauce. The turkey should remain soft and juicy.

Serving and storage

• with bulgur or couscous;

• or simply with warm bread.
