Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
After seasoning with salt and pepper, sear the turkey meat on all sides until golden brown. It is preferable to do this in a heavy-bottomed pot. Remove the meat and set it aside.
Step 2
Reduce the heat to medium, add a little more oil to the pot. Add the coarsely chopped onion, carrot, and celery, and enjoy the sight.
Step 3
Add the spices. While the vegetables are softening, put the kettle on.
Step 4
Place the meat on top of the vegetables, pour boiling water over it, and add salt. Bring it back to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cook for 40 to 50 minutes.
Step 5
Now add the dried apricots and chickpeas. The warm liquid will help the apricots regain their fruity essence and impart all their honeyed sweetness to the dish.
Step 6
After adding the finishing touches, cook the stew for another 15 minutes.
