Turkey Breast Stewed with Prunes
Main Dishes • Russian
Description
Variety is what helps turkey's white meat avoid the sin of monotony. We often use prunes as a powerful flavor-enhancing ingredient, for example, when stewing pork. However, turkey in this combination appears much more tender and healthy, and the contrast with the almost jam-like plums is just as vibrant. The key is not to rush, to be patient, to turn the heat down to the lowest setting, and to let the turkey soak up the sweetness of the plums and the piney aroma of rosemary. This dish is destined for success: due to years of tradition, stewed prunes do not evoke rejection even from those who generally struggle to understand the combination of meat with sweet fruit sauces.
