Turkey fillet in a pan
Description
Turkey fillet in a pan is my favorite recipe. I often cook this dish because I watch my diet and try to eat as little fatty and unhealthy food as possible. Although this dish can't be called strictly diet, it doesn't harm your figure too much (you just need to know the right portion). :) I always serve pan-fried turkey fillet with mashed potatoes and peas, prepared according to my own recipe. I hope you know how to make simple mashed potatoes even without me, but below you'll find the steps for how I cook turkey breast and peas. Good luck!
