Turkey Breast with Onions, Farmer Style - Tacchino con Cipolle alla Contadina

By , About.com Guide

I'm not sure why turkey breast stewed with onions should be called farmer-style, but it is. And it's tasty. To serve 4:

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (400 g) turkey breast, sliced into strips
  • 1 lb (400 g) onions, sliced
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (we used less, and added some olive oil)
  • 2-3 ladles of broth (bullion is fine)
  • A bunch parsley, minced
  • A bunch of chives, chopped (we used dill instead)
  • Salt & pepper

Preparation:

Sauté the onions in the butter over a low flame until they have wilted thoroughly, about 20 minutes. Add the turkey and brown it for 10 minutes, then season to taste, add enough broth to partially cover, and simmer until the turkey is tender. Dust with the herbs before serving.

We also added a half cup of heavy cream, which helped tie things together. It will be nice with rice, though the combination isn't Italian, or with polenta, which would be.

Yield: 4 servings turkey breast stewed with onions.
