Why this recipe works
No cream sauce in a perforated basket
This is a lightly oiled turkey and vegetable dish, not a cream-based stew. A wide basket of about 5 to 6 litres helps keep the pieces loose. Smaller appliances need more batches. Rice and bread are not included.

Method

Prepare
Pat the turkey dry and cut into short strips about 2 cm thick. Cut pepper into narrow pieces, courgette into half-slices and onion into thin wedges. Do not wash raw poultry. Clean hands and utensils after handling raw meat.

2
Mix and season
Mix everything with oil, paprika, salt and pepper. Keep clean serving utensils separate from the raw meat.

Cook
If required by the manufacturer, preheat for 3 minutes at 180 °C. Spread loosely in the basket and cook for about 18 minutes at 180 °C. Mix thoroughly after 9 minutes to expose hidden meat surfaces.

Check and serve
Check the thickest turkey strips. The vegetables should be tender with a slight bite. Divide between two plates using clean utensils and serve immediately. Check that the thickest part reaches at least 70 °C for 2 minutes; continue cooking if needed.
