Turkey Borscht
Description
Borscht is one of the most common dishes on our lunch table. There are countless recipes for preparing it, and anticipating objections that my borscht is not authentic or that it's not borscht but just soup, I'll say right away that this is how I make it, and this is the borscht my family loves. It's not rich and heavy like borscht made with fatty pork or beef. I lightly stew the vegetables in a small amount of oil, rather than frying them for 30 minutes in a pan until fully cooked. I don't mince garlic with lard, as is often done. You could say my borscht is diet-friendly, yet still very tasty. The soup is ready to serve.
